Yes, Amos, it is a lovely haiku. It has stuck with me for decades, particularly as, in the wet season, our garden is filled with myriad of those tiny creatures revelling in their brief existence. I am 58 with 6 grandchildren, but I can honestly say that I have rarely reflected on how old I am. There is so much to learn and enjoy. If I ever started thinking about how little time is left, I could become dejected or even bitter. Fuck that!--Stewie.
