Dust if you must, but wouldn\u2019t it be better
\nTo paint a picture, or write a letter,
\nBake a cake, or plant a seed;
\nPonder the difference between want and need?<\/p>\n
Dust if you must, but there\u2019s not much time,
\nWith rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
\nMusic to hear, and books to read;
\nFriends to cherish, and life to lead.<\/p>\n
Dust if you must, but the world\u2019s out there
\nWith the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
\nA flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
\nThis day will not come around again.<\/p>\n
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
\nOld age will come and it\u2019s not kind.
\nAnd when you go (and go you must)
\nYou, yourself, will make more dust.<\/p>\n
