"Dust If You Must"

 

 Dust if you must, but life is too short

The picture you painted, it now has been bought

Write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed

Ponder the difference between want and need

 

Dust if you must, but there's not much time

With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb

Music to hear, and books to read

Friends to cherish, and a life to lead

 

Dust if you must, but the World's out there

With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair

A flutter of snow, a shower of rain

This day may never come round again

 

Dust if you must, but bear in mind

Old age will come, and it's not kind

And when you go, and go you must

You yourself will make more dust.
