Measure of Life
Souls tied to flesh, we all have our parts.
Doing our best to touch other's hearts.
Speak only truth & selflessly give,
Harbor no hate, words we should live.
Giving our all, in life & in love
Ensures us a place in the clouds up above.
Enjoy the good times & sway with the rest.
One's strength in the storm is life's greatest test.
Life is but fleeting in the scheme of things grand,
& love should be taken when it offers a hand.
Dance to the music, let each moment last.
Hold no regrets we can't live in the past.
Let passion emit from all that you do
Each dawn brings a chance to start life anew
At the end of the journey when flesh fades away
We're measured by hearts touched at the end of our days.
