And so, life is indeed short...
Nothing lasts,
No, not even laughter,
Nor tears.
No person is so strong
Life can't bend.
No person is so great
Death can't humble.
For though, his sharp sickle
Is a hungry fang,
At the end, death is a friend,
and the disease is a cure unveiled.
Burdened no more;
The whining, weary nerves
And tired bones
Are now at rest.
Ahhh, you may not have heard
The final breath
Pained, so it seemed;
T'was a whisper of relieved gratefulness.
Yes, only love lasts.
Memories. Memories of the
faces that smiled.
Memories of giggles that echoed.
Live, laugh and smile a lot,
Don't fear death,
Nor be afraid to live.
Risk, love, forgive, embrace...
Welcome to life...
