Your life is metered,
Whether you accept it or not.
We live in days, months, and years,
We have joy, sadness, happiness, and tears.
Your time at work is metered,
This you are quite aware of, I am sure.
You are expected to work your allocated hours,
Earning money to pay your bills, home, and cars.
Your time for sleep is also metered,
With a maximum of seven hours of deep sleep.
Somehow, with tensions, stress, and worry,
These hours of sleep are hard to keep.
You need a meter for you to enjoy life,
To savor every minute away from strife.
Ensure that you enjoy every minute of life,
With your family, friends, girlfriend, or wife.
Your life is metered, now you know,
Throw open the joy and happiness door.
We live in seconds, minutes, days, months, and years,
Fill them with more happiness and joy, free from tears.
