Bernardo F. Asuncion Poet Acrostic

As You Only Live Once

A-s you only live once, 
N-ot twice beneath the blue; 
A-llow the light to take away
D-eep darkness from
Y-ou.

B-oy and girl live only once, 
E-ven the young and old; 
R-egardless of life's status, 
M-an goes to tomb so cold.
U-se the little chance
N-ever waste opportunity; 
D-ay six of warm July
O-pen your soul to the Almighty.

B-reath you take won't last, 
E-nd of it will surely come; 
R-eminding you of the dust, 
C-lay and mound in God's palm.
I-n this world you travel, 
L-ife's journey isn't great in distance; 
L-et it be worthy before God, 
A-s you only live once.
