Momentary happiness

Food eaten yesterday
Is waste today; yet we eat.
Health taken care of in life
Is lost forever with death; yet we take.
Wealth gotten with efforts
Is left behind post death; yet we get.
Image brought up through out
Will die after we die; yet we must
Life itself consists of only
Momentary happiness.
