Death...
what a great teacher you are
yet few of us elect to learn from you
          about life
thats the very essence of death's teaching
               life...
      Death is not an elective
One day we will all take death's class
the wise students adop the class
and in early years they'll find enlightment
           thanks to death
They'll be prepared when graduation day
                finally arrives....

... This poem seems very personal; the most enjoyable ones always are.  You are very right, death is the best teacher; you only live once.  Life isn't about how long you take to "graduate," but about what you do with the time you have.  If you continually spurn it's teachings and refuse to live, then you've accomplished little.  I really felt this poem, and it deserves some more replies!
