Nothing Lasts Forever

deepak chopra 、lisa bonet -Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing lasts forever

No one lives forever

Keep that in mind and love

Our life is not the

same old burden

Our path is not the

same long journey

The flower fades and dies

We must pause to weave

perfection into music

Keep that in mind

and love

Love droops towards its sunset

To be drowned in

the golden shadows

Love must be called

from its play

And love must be born

again to be free

Keep that in mind

and love

Let us hurry to

gather our flowers

Before they are plundered

by the passing winds

It quickens our blood

and brightens our eyes

To snatch kisses

that would vanish

If we delayed

Our life is eager

Our desires are keen

For time rolls by

Keep that in mind and love

Beauty is sweet

for a short time

And then it is gone

Knowledge is precious

But we will never have

time to complete it

All is done and finished

In eternal heaven

But our life here

is eternally fresh

Keep that in mind

and love
