Life Is What You Make It

birth, to those who dare
begins the life adventure
to never fear death

Perhaps fear makes us feel more alive. When we overcome it we are empowered. I like your Senryu.

birth, to those who dare...... :) yes! for excluding the natural birth, we can always go on "rebirth" on the stages of life if we really dare to go through it....... "never fear death"... a challenging remark.. :) I LOve it.. kuDOS!!!! +OLIVE_ELOI
