Friday

Enjoy every moment in your life
You’ll never know how long it lasts

Show your commitment to others, your concern
It may be too late if you wait one more day

Let people feel happy one more time
Tomorrow may bring sorrow’n’pain

You cannot lock anyone in the box
Even birds do not survive when closed

You need to  give freedom and space
No matter if it brings life or death

People turn into dust and disappear
To be forgotten is their only fear

The ancient secret of immortality 
Is to live forever in people’s memory
