Poem #16: Life
#16 of Poetry
Self-Explanatory
Life
Days pass by
Why do we die
Every day is so
Listen with sigh
Verdict is in
Account for your sin
This treasure will go
Into the trash bin
Values passed on
Memories will spawn
Fruits will sew
Opportunity has gone
Words passed down
Honesty should crown
Friend over foe
Fate will frown
Is light the fire
Shadows conspire
Truth will show
Lying is dire
Love in sight
Determination we fight
Emotions we know
Grief the blight
Can it be bought
Instances in thought
Lost we crow
Chances been shot
Experience will pave
Compassion we crave
Knowledge in tow
Reasons to save
Toils and strife
Doubt the knife
No matter how low
Cherish this life.
