Riddle Me This

Is there a black without a white?
A left without a right,
Or a day without a night?

Is there an up without a down?
A smile without a frown,
Or a lost without a found?

Can you have wrong without, right?
A peace without a fight,
Or dark without light?

Have you ever seen a garden without weeds?
A forest without trees,
Or faith without deeds?

Would you deem there is an east without a west?
A worst without a best,
Or knowledge without a test?

The grandest question we have left,
Can you have life without a death?
