The End
It is true this is it then,
the last, the end.
My life, this journey,
did it not just begin?
It seems not long ago
when I first did breathe,
now as a breath is my life
our lives and suddenly,
its over and all our
glad smiles and happy times,
are gone like grey clouds
with the dawn of sunshine,
and all that is left is often
sadness and regret,
for what remains undone
perhaps the life that we led.
But alas, it is too late
and nothing can be done,
as now we must return
to the earth we came from.

For me, it is more life affirming.
Reminds me of a plaque in my kitchen which reads..
"Give in to temptation, it may never pass your way again."

Well written...
I also like the positive note
at the end..........Mick.
You are right
we are put
grains of sand
in the scheme
of things.
Love the ending

Yet, as you say, we should always:
Try and make the best of every opportunity, live life full and be happy while you can...
My take (in Haiku form) is:
strive to be happy
knowing that ultimately
destiny prevails
