Birth begins all
The lives we lead,
Planted so deep
As we grow,
Like seed,
Until torn from the womb,
Borne into doom,
Such a terrible world that awaits us

Love completes all
The lives we lead,
Love so expansive
It rears
Like a mountain,
Until torn from the chest,
Hearts and Minds distressed,
Oh terrible love that creates us

Death ends all
The lives we lead,
Anonymous reaper,
Who reaps as we sow,
Like seed,
Until eyes close,
To turn a beautiful rose,
Away from eternity, lifeless, faceless, loveless.

Death begins all
Our faith,
Leads us down the path
That all must take,
Beforehand though,
We must create
Love, Life, and Laughter.

Remember. Life is short. But life is great.

Bravo Luke, well done...I loved this line:

"Until torn from the chest,
Hearts and Minds distressed,
Oh terrible love that creates us"
