Great Philosophy
Dust if you must ......
But wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture or write a letter
Bake a cake or plant a seed,
Ponder the difference
between Want and need?
Dust if you must .......
But there's not much time,
With rivers to swim
And mountains to climb,
Music to hear
And books to read,
Friends to cherish
And life to lead.
Dust if you must ......
But the world's out there,
With the sun in your eyes,
The wind in your hair.
A flutter of snow,
A shower or rain,
This day will not
Come round again.
Dust if you must .....
But bear in mind,
Old age will come
And it's not kind.
And when you go,
And go you must,
You, yourself will
Make more dust!
