I started living on borrowed time as a teenager,

not looking back, never figuring interest,

didn't think beyond next week,

didn't plan beyond tomorrow

Celebrate the Temporary

and Inhale Damn it

In Hale

Thought I'd be lucky to live as long as Jesus

33 that's ripe, 40 old, 50 ancient

beyond that forget about it

It was all about now

Living loud and true from the heart

trusting mind and soul and body would follow.

Months pass like week,

weeks like days,

days like hours,

years like months,

but who's counting

Now I've borrowed more time than I had in the first place

Looking to 50 as young, 60 as spry,

70 wondering who's collecting interest on my account.

To late to turn back now

Living loud and true from the heart seems to work

Body and Soul and Mind do follow

Regale in retrospect

Celebrate the Temporary

Memories and Moments

are both ripe and succulent

Do them well,

They do you good

Decades pass like minutes

Inhale Damn it

In Hale !
