the
end of
my life is
coming so quick
the years have sped by
more swiftly than before
so that i am left facing
fewer and fewer days
and in my decline
i see that life
is precious
more so
now
.

This is beautiful! And so true, life is going very quick as soon as you get older, but it's also becoming more and more beautiful and precious as you stated it. A lovely form you have chosen for this poem as well... At least I see a baby in it, who grows to become an adult and then slowly is falling in decline and dies in the end. This is a masterpiece!
Very well done.
Anna.

Sounds like the average cricis that almost every person experiences sooner or later. This is grounded in reality, and can very well open the eyes of many young people. Wisdom, my friend.
