Life and Death

Life and death, without one there cannot be the other.

For some it's short, but they live it like no other.

For most it's long, and to be happy they don't even bother.

Life cannot be lived without the love of others.

The second we are born, is the second we begin to die.

As a child we live life and don't worry shy.

As we grow it gets tougher and we don't want to try.

Like everything else, it will end and we'll have to say goodbye.

Whether it's twenty years or one-hundred twenty,

Live it with a purpose to be greater than many.

Most likely life will be long;

So live it with the future in mind

Because if you act in the moment life is never kind.
