Before It Melts Away

Eat the ice-cream on your cone before it melts away.
Let things strike the funny bone
before your rainy day.

Get the toy that makes you glad before it needs excuse.
Let things strike the current fad
before you slip the noose.

Hear the music of your heart before it looses chance.
Let things strike the motion art
before your final dance.

Risk the danger near the edge before it earns misdoubt.
Let things strike the safety pledge
before you report out.

Tell the proof of your legend before it is too late.
Let things strike the bitter-end
before your closing fate.
