Love: First and Last

One’s never late for tomorrow
The future may never arrive.
So live each day as if borrowed
The lender may call due our lives.
Eat, drink and be merry my friends
The feast is never guaranteed;
Love with a passion that transcends
Time and cling to it friend, take heed:
One day you’ll get old, god willing
And all we have left is the past
Those memories are fulfilling
But not without love first and last
Eternity is infinite
Love accompanies all of it.
