R.I.P.



Why strive to live, when we live we die
We wake up everyday, with a will to survive
We fall asleep every night, hoping to arise
But yet we live knowing any second we may die.
Its hard to understand the meaning of life
Its impossible to know what happens when we die
So uncertainty is life, and questions are death
So we question the after life, uncertain of our last breath
We can't be afraid of this fact of life
But we must be aware that its a fact of life
So live life to the fullest, with no regrets
Be all you can be, before your last rest
Don't think about death,
Cause you are living this life
Let your soul rest in God's hands
When you close your eyes...
