Memento Vivere

Should we remember to die?
We all know death it inevitable.
Our lives come to an end
Swiftly
Without choice.
	
Should we remember to live?
Living is much more difficult than death.
Living wears on the soul
Harshly
Like a storm

What if we remember both?
We'll take time nor moments for granted
Appreciating both
For we can all choose to live
But never to die
