In life

Need there’s to smile nor cry in life,
What will, will by and by in life.

Bank to bank lifeboats ply in life,
Still, the same boats must die in life. 

One must swim, cannot fly in life
Whilst sorrows do defy in life.

Think, what to sow, not sigh in life
If rainy gets the sky in life.

To unknot tangled tie in life,
Nigh silent should one try in life.
