Oh My Life You Are

Sometime I feel			
                                              Sometime I fail			
                                             when I think of it			
			
                                          I go ahead on and on			
                                 until it dies, my utmost synonym			
                                             bound by time			
			 
                                   Ups and down without excuse			
                                      either internal or external			
                                         falling with it indeed			
			
                                      Like an ovenproof dish 			
                                       Sweet-sour parts of it			
                                   where happiness too greets			
			
                                         It gives me taste			
                                      to have the teste of it			
                                           to make me fit			
			
                                   I say, Hi my dear one!			
                             Are you not that what I do feel?			
                                      Oh! My life you are
