These lines form a comment of mine elsewhere on WOL.
Life is a frail and passing thing,
To which, like love and hope, we cling.
When healthy we barely spare a thought
For that which fate and fortune have brought;
But all things must come to an end
And our pleasure must be in the spend.
.............................................................................
Wonderfully wise words, here, MC, beautifully encapsulated in six inspirational lines.
Thanks for sharing them.
However, in this modern world that encourages 'spend, spend, spend', my parents' post-war legacy indoctrination of 'save for a rainy day' regularly presents me with a certain guilt in over-subscribing to your good advice, here. ?

Thanks, John - the short version has to be "make the most of life
while you have it".
