Why do we live?
When there are so many
Problems in this world
That seem to be getting worse
Day after day

Why do we live?
When illness we have
Become worse everyday
And doctors' decide
They are nothing of importance

Why do we live?
When we do not get along
With some of our family members
Even though
We so desperately want to

Why do we live?
When it seems like
Everyday we lose a friend
Instead of gain more
And then we feel alone

Why do we live?
When it seems
Like we have found love
But find out
We we were sorely mistaken

Why do we live?
We live because weare happy
With ourselves
Even though the world around us
Seems to fall apart

That is why we live

Cold hands means a warm heart

I'd say you're right about that, but we also live to improve the things we need to improve, and being happy is the only way to do that.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
We do not stop playing because we grow ol

We live because we are allowed to live.

enjoyed your questions.
