'Tis True

'Tis true what they say about people today's friend can be tomorrow's enemy
And that nothing in life lasts forever applies too to you and to me
As dead as the dodo they used say now they say the same thing about rhyme
And most things do have their use by date and few things stand the test of time,
In life there are not any certainties who knows what tomorrow will bring
Your lotto numbers they may come up and with joy you will laugh loud and sing
Your money worries will be over an instant and a new millionaire
When the going was tough you kept on going though your financial cross heavy to bear
'Tis true we are only mere mortals and time does take care of us all
The all powerful like the great tree of the forest one day are destined for a fall
The reaper than them far more powerful and on their lives has the final say
No different to all other mortals their end near with each passing day
And 'tis true that your friend at the present in the future may not be your friend
For nothing it does last forever and all things must come to an end.
