Oooh, Life !

in life, too quick, too soon we hate
     in death, we pause, then love 
          ... too late

though maybe soon the wound will heal,
     the hurt takes time, the pain's 
          ... too real

and though the waves do fiercely roar,
     the wavelets softly woo 
          ... the shore.
