Life Jar

If my life was precious oil in a jar
How would I use it?
Every decade the equivalent of a millilitre
What would I spare it for?

The precious oil is limited
The volume varying for every man
I would surely with caution use
This precious fluid that is my life

What conversations would I afford
To spare this treasure of life on
What relationships would I cherish
to give a drop of scarce resource

This oil of life no matter what
Daily goes down like engine oil
And as years pass it sure runs out
And when it's gone life on earth ends

Before one then takes that last breath
It's surely worth planning this oil
It's limited it will run out
While it's still fresh use it as bestpicassa
