Life is too short

We were born alone and alone we will die, why are people scared of saying goodbye

Our time is limited, our time is short, why are we worried if we are to abort 

Do good in life, be kind to people, show some compassion, show them we are equal

Relinquish your arrogance, embrace your modesty and life will bloom like an apple tree 

Try to be a doctor, or an architect, people with knowledge do gain respect

Take life easy, take life slow, when people are happy their skin will glow

You can be a playboy, or a millionaire, without your happiness you’re lost in despair
