Life and Death

Life and death are two sides of the same coin Yet we embrace the first and shun the last But no matter which view of life we join Death is something that surely will come to pass So be mindful of this fact in living And seek to enrich the quality of your life Think carefully of what you are doing And always seek to avoid needless strife If you help others as you go along The peace of mind from this will be your gain And as mentioned in the words of the song Surely your life would not have been in vain Live your life in such a meaningful way That gives contentment and satisfaction So that when your death arrives you can say Truly, my life was a mission well done
