Life and Death

LIFE AND DEATH


                  Life to love, to work and to get established,
                  Greatest gift of God to parents is child.
                           Good news delivered to all.
                            Peerless pleasure flooded.


                          Then to raise up, care the dear 
                              cute loving little angel,
                             kindling the birthday candle,
                           watching to grow every year.

                 
                               Childhood, adulthood
                               Struggle to exist, to survive:
                                 Success or failure
                                seems absolute fruitless to
                                  face inevitable death
                                     leaving no trace.
