Time is running out.

Time is Running out.
I feel that time is running out and I don't know where to go
Up or down,"Heaven or Hell" how am I supposed to know?
I have always done my bit so there should be some reward
OK I haven't been perfectly behaved so I don't expect an award.

As a child you are led to believe that there is a life after death
With the coming of age you'll find it pays to hold your breath
Will you know what awaits your sole when you finally pass away?
My advice is enjoy your life and accept that it is there day by day.

I cannot complain because, in truth, I've had a great time on earth
When my time expires I'll pass on advice to all' for what it's worth
Never re-act  when you experience pain,  kick the cause into touch
There is always a way for you to win and the effort is never too much.

None of us knows what waits us in the next world Rod. It is all a mystery. Sound advice from you though, make the most of our time here and live it well. Sent with every good wish

Wow Chris, I only just posted it, that's what I call swift re-action. I have just made a vow to my niece that this is the last poem referring to my big C problem. Thanks for your review, I really want to move on from my health problem but it seems that every day I have to go for various appointments, driving me mad. I promise I will get more cheerful stuff posted while I still can. Thanks again. Rod.

No problem Rod, sometimes it is best to go just where the muse takes you. I wish you well with all your appointments. Cheerful, when and if you are ready :))
