It Comes, Then It Goes

Life, it's shorter than a ruler,

It comes, then it goes.

But how it does so suddenly,

That nobody knows.

 

Fortune, it's shorter than me,

It comes sudden but woosh and it's gone.

Then explain how it moves

So suddenly on.

 

This poem, it's shorter than most others,

It begun and now it's ending.

And then I must ask,

Do you get the message I'm sending?
