Before I Die

The day I was born, is the day I begin to die, That how the system is designed, there is no known answer even if one get to ask why, For life and death without one there will not be the other, Death is inexorable, the fear of it I for long put to slumber. But before I die, I must fulfil my purpose as time fly, Touching countless lives, showing I care. So even when gone, it shall be evinced that I was here. I will love and respect all and none I will hate, Treat everyone beneath as if they were my mate. Appreciate everyone for the things they do, Judge none, if I can't walk in their shoe. I will swelter a cake and dived it to four, East, North, South, one for each and I will eat the last with West, that for sure. The cake flavored in unanimity, designed in parity and equity and colored in peace and harmony, And share the message that we are one made of many. I will work in the West, sleep in the North, wakeup in the East and dress in the South, Marry in the North-West, build my dynasty in the East, and dwell in the South. Farm in the South-East, fishing in the North-West, And dine with my friends from the South-East and In-laws from the North-West. Engraved my name not on a rock but in the heart of many, Not by words from mouth but by good deeds to many, Shelter the homeless kids, lead the youths and befriend the aged, Comfort the frail motivate the zest, and free the caged. Embraced art, and devalued the political vocation, Spread the unity and love as I contribute to building my nation. Since the day I was born this is the mission I envisioned Before I die though seems impossible but I must complete my mission. Come in angel of death since my soul you must take, Come into my house and let celebrate If my mission is yet to complete I ask for a second, minute or even a day, To complete my mission and we will be on our way Since you are here for my soul to steal, I will save you the burden since my name you cannot kill Hence before I die I have proved that I was here, By touching one life at a time with such delicacy, tenderness and care.
