He's A Life Quickly Spent (1984)

he’s a life quickly spent
walk gently, do not run
thus all distances end
let’s not run

venture he does, let it last
wise, thrifty, a life planned
time swiftly shall pass
understand

in life’s every stride, decide
disappointments, fallen
perchance snared by hidden pride
plays silent

simply himself he’s all free
snug, easy, plays along
loyal, honest, wills to be
Eye of Storm.
