#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.
