Battery

Life is much like a battery….
Except we charge simply by resting.
Once our eyes lay back, and close,
we fall into a deep sleep that restocks.
What most people seem to forget though,
is that batteries eventually run out over time.
We all are given only so many years to recharge.
Over the years, the battery starts to worn down a bit,
and eventually one day the battery stops working.
How will you spend your time before your battery wears out?
