Life

Life is so strange,
Nothing stays the same.
Everything change,
But who to blame?

It is like a game
Where you lose,
Before you gain
And to win you have to face the fearful rain.

The closest people you need, go away
When you need them the most,
You find them lost.

Day after day
Days go by,
People are born…and others die.

Year after year
Years go by,
Nothing is clear, hearts are left in fear.

Today you walk and talk,
Tomorrow you lay in your grave
Nothing it gave,
The money that you save
No use of your gold,
When it won't be sold.

Be strong,
And stop doing wrong.
Never lie,
And always be ready for your last goodbye.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
