Something To Adieu About

If the end of life is a shallow grave
  What point is there to rant and rave

Be pleasant, friendly, of good cheer
  Please God and man while you are here

Thanks, Line. Though we can skip that 'shallow grave,' I think. ~ Deep Waters

Gershon, There's a deep peace found in this Epigram. I never liked the term YOLO. It discludes the hopes & dreams of all others. At the very least it should be WOLO, "We Only Live Once". Though neither apply to my personal beliefs. -Richard
