Forever stretches off into infinity,
before the beginning of time.
Only a concept in physics,
most people don't understand.

For a child on a long trip,
"When are we going to get there?"
Seems like forever in their mind.
Likewise, growing up's the same.

But life goes by very quickly,
and we shouldn't really miss out,
waiting just for forever,
immersed in longing and doubt.

In old age forever comes quickly,
before we know it, we are old.
Best spend the time to the fullest,
for we may never be so bold.

We get there in a wink of an eye,
in forever time's long scale.
Best to spend time while we can,
rather than in this life just pine.

And if you want to be with forever,
your soulmate of this brief life,
think again of the consequences,
of how boring or filled with strife.

Elysian Fields are here on earth,
enjoy them while we can.
Why wait for some new birth,
and waste our precious time?
