Memento Mori

Remember the sole reason you walk on this earth
Remember the reason you live
Though you will die, eventually,
You have one life with which to give.
So make the best of life today
Before you notice it slipping by
Make sure you are the best you can be
And don't make any other person cry.
Remember to do your good for the world
Remember to be the one
Who never stops giving, who always is working
Until the day is done.
The world doesn't last forever
And neither does a body
Use it to other's advantage
Make sure you never have to say sorry.
So be that one person, that giving soul
Make the best of your life
Do the right thing, but you must remember;
Remember that you will die.
