You have got this body now
To live on this earth
A planet impermanent
Where you call your home
Emotions form part of life
The sadness and pain
Some losses and some gains too
There is time to spend
Lessons to be lived and learned
Tread lightly go slow
But time passes quickly though

    I agree on that last 2 lines:
    Tread lightly go slow
    But time passes quickly though

    Your poem resonates with me, Gillena, having recently turned seventy and following the deaths of stars I ‘grew up’ with. I especially love the final couplet.
