You are going to die, And that is okay, As long as you know, To live every day. You will rot, Wither and decay, So live your life, In a state of play. You can not dodge death, Try as you may, So do not bother, And fear flies away. No one will remember you, Deeds you do or words you say, But act in love, And make the world sway. You will be nothing forever, That is how you will stay, But now you are someone, Even if it is just today. You will stop and end, As all things obey, So live, live, live; Your life your way.
