Nothing Last Forever

Can you remember
opening your eyes
for the very first time?
When you were a sweet
Innocent baby.
What about when you
were a small toddler?
And almost nothing
in the world mattered.
Or when you were a
pimple-faced teen?
And girls were the on-
ly thing that mattered.
 
Can you remember your first time drinking
the night away at a college party?
When you were an oh-so troubled freshman
trying to discover who you are.
What about when you proved everyone wrong and
graduated at the top of your class?
As a young and energetic businessman
eagerly looking to work for Wall Street.
Or what about when you settled down with
the woman you had always dreamed of?
And had three cute, adorable children
that soon enough became all that mattered.
 
Can you remember the first gloomy night that you suffered
 from a heart attack and almost slipped away to heaven?  
When you were a famous affluent company owner
who believed that he was actually invincible.
What about when the day you thought would never happen
finally happened and you were forced into retirement?
And it was like you were a cherubic toddler again
because like before, almost nothing in the world mattered.
Or what about when you heard the fateful news from your
doctor that you’d been diagnosed with a deadly cancer?
And sadly you will once again be like a baby, a
sweet innocent baby, who will open their eyes one last time
 
Can you remember death?
