Walking Life

life and death
one has breath

the deep south brought us the blues
rest of our lives bring us clues

life is precious
and glorious

should be treated like gold
try not to live so bold

for life is fragile
not even a mile

so live to the fullest
doing your very best

for life's a one time deal
some will say it's a steal

eyes front all the time
the past becomes grime
