life

a poem of trying to cram everything into your life as you only have one of these

LIFE

I look upon life as fragile,
Not here for long.
Hoping to cram as much as possible
Into our existence. looking for that
Special someone to share our
Overwhelming abundance of love and life.

It could be a love of another human being,
An object of desire, a special animal or
Just something you love to do.
Being a mum, a wife, or husband
Doing that job that took so long to train
For any of these could be the love of your life.

We try and compact our life,
Hoping we have enough time with
The ones we love and not to leave anyone behind.
Not to miss that given opportunity to spend our
Life not just by existing: but to continue to thieve.
