Life's Too Short
by Tony WhitakerTheres a fire
softly burning
away the tears
that fill your mind
This remembering
rebounds
then strips you bare
and makes you colder
And you sit
and you wait
and wonder
then ask why
is life
so hard
as we get older
But lifes
too short
to die for...
as you waste
the hours you cry
So get up
or life
will slip
away forever
through her fingers

Author's Note: Another tune written last night and finished in my morning run in my head. To the melody of Back Home Again by John Denver. A little different phrasing, but the 2/4 beat is the same. That rocking horse beat we call it. Key of E.
