Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better,
To paint a picture or write a letter.
Bake a cake or plant a seed,
Ponder the difference between want and need.
Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb.
Music to hear and books to read,
Friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world’s out there,
With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair.
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it’s not kind
And when you go – and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6623005/happy-days-in-our-golden-years/p1?new=1

Woop, I didn't even have to make an account. Nice and simple
You know my real name and address now :eek:
No thanks for me, thanks to you for beautiful art I can't resist. (I see what you did there with your lilies and loaves, you were just building a foundation and buttering us up for this moment!)

I'm not worried - but as you can see, I have a unique name! You certainly find me on Googling! :rotfl:
Loaves and buttering! I'm a metaphor genius! :T
Okay, going to do some work now. Honest
