What It Takes To Be Human

Out of love we transform from dust to mortal
A little stain in character
We struggle to attain seventy
At the end of the lengthy age we go back to dust

Many live way beyond seventy. Doris Day was almost 100..)) One never knows at what age we go. Many young people die well before 70, Tons of them. We all should be aware today may be our last day. Panagiota.

You're right.....but that was why I used the word (struggle to attain) some of us reach 70, some doesnt and some live above 70. Death is uncertain....but we all struggle to live.
