No one asks to be born No one asks to die But when you lose someone You truly love Watch them suffer In so much agony That you suffered And felt the agony and pain too There was no one in the world Who could do anything Or I could do The castle we built together Stone by Stone Slowly erodes Would it Have been better I ponder Although it hurts so much to say To say If we had never been born Or never met All But we must have been born And brought together for a reason The reason being Our beautiful children Made of love I can see the sadness in their watery eyes And it pains to say Whenever look at them I see a reflection of you Looking back at me Reminding me Wherever you are Or how far I now know it meant to be We met that day Both fall madly in love It must have been more than fate And destiny We were made for each other The mould was cast And thrown away Two halves making a whole As one Welled together A perfect fit With both our names Carved so deep The same blood Running through our veins And through our heart Ordained and sanctified From heaven high above With approval And blessed with purity We had one mind In harmonious sync Speaking yet silent No one else can read Or understand I have to be strong for our children And my own sanity Maybe one day In a better place than here You'll Come back to me.

Yes. NO one asked to be born. Nor do we normally ask to die. And yet... Now that we are here, let us examine our deeds... Your poem's 'exam' is found tremendously worthy and worthwhile of the life given to the protagonists. At least, I think so. Kudos, Gershon
