LIFE
LIFE
Life has so much to answer for
Being newborn is just the start
All with significant expectation
Growth, physical and personal
Achievement and procreation
But with death just out of sight
As almost as a trick of the eye
Never to quite understand it all
A life yet to be lived to the full
Mocking a mere bland existence
Let the blood pump in the veins
The mind sharpens like a sword
As a heart that can take the pain
Is the price to pay, year on year
For a life, worthy of its existence
That survives and indeed, thrives
Proving nature is right and wrong
