"Life is like an icecream"

Someone's wise words are these -
and i do quite agree:
that "life is like an icecream" -
for it melts so easily
one cannot afford to tarry -
so enjoy it while you can!

For the years pass so quickly -
and in just the blink of an eye:
we are all closer to sixty
when it was only like yesterday
that we were just one day
more than forty,
and then not one day
more than fifty!

So, i'll wait no more
but to do whatever i have to do
for time and tide waits for no one
to be at sixes and sevens
so one has to move on
and live at the eights...
so that i'll regret nought
when it's time,
from this world,
to finally depart...
