Learn To Live

We will not be here forever, no matter how hard we try.
The sun will eventually burn out and this planet will definitely die.
Stop living in fear of the end and start living for today.
Wasting more time with division and hate is simply not the way.

Our days on Earth are numbered, every living creature including mankind.
Science can attest to this fact in every religion you will also find.
The end will come for us all, even this world will cease to thrive.
When all is said and done, there will be nothing left here alive.

We are faced with an opportunity, this one chance to truly live.
We must learn to love our neighbors, and teach our children how to forgive.
Enjoy each beautiful moment, under the sun, stars and moon.
Live everyday of your life, like the end is tomorrow at noon.
