LIFE & DEATH

Life's like a tempting sweet

Which every living thing has to eat,

Like all sweet things tend to sour,

There're times when even living's a bore!

Like flavors on the palate do always differ,

Sometimes sweet sometimes bitter

Life's abound with joys and sorrows, multifarious, galore

Treading slow but sure towards a dreaded specter, all abhor

Death…a hallowing portal? … a harrowing final frontier?

Or merely an oasis of calm, a resting place,

For the soul to rest, recoup a while, a moment of solace

Yet again to move on, a life again to be born

A new hope, a new dawn

So why fear, live on, with your head held high,

For if it is done, When all is done, In eternal bliss,

my friend, you surely will lie…
