The Bottle of Life

To life
I would bottle thee
to see how long I have

To death
Lets wait and see
when the bottles empty
how proud of life I'll be.

Michael. This is GREAT!!! (If these are your thoughts and feelings, you might choose lyric as a poetry form...) At any rate, you have masterfully written about life and death. Perfection! Lovingly, Dane Ann
