Life

Life… It’s just once so live it out,

So give what all you got,

Be happy and cherish every moment,

For there will be the time, you may forget…

Everything,

For it’s just once “to be,”

To live and born as a baby,

And To grow to maturity, And maybe someday,

To die with dignity.

Relationships…

It’s just once to have:

Family, friends, and love,

To have a caring and loving mother,

To have a kind and generous father.

For it’s just once to happen,

A chance to grow as a young man/woman,

To grow in body, mind, and soul

And be considered as a whole.

For its just once to be old,

We may have secrets, or we’re bold,

As long as we search for the truth,

In it, we continue to hold.

For its just once to be old,

We just need to wait and hold,

We may accept it or not,

We all have the same path.

Memories passed,

Leaving us a broken heart,

Wounds heal, leaving us scars,

We may not accept our past,

Yet the present is there for us,

The Future is waiting for us.

Love hurts,

It’s just once to love,

Yet we don’t easily give up,

For through it we find the meaning,

Of a life worth living.

Love… For it’s just once,

So Love as though it’s the first,

Love as though it’s the last,

Share to others to learn,

Love with an untiring heart.

Don’t wait until death,

To realize something special in us,

That the life that we have is not ours,

A life borrowed from God…

In the end, what remains is love.

It’s not about the gold nor silver,

Those were placed in our fingers.

Not about how many stars fell that we counted,

Places that we visited.

Achievements that were granted.

It’s not how much we are prepared,

Nor how many flowers are offered,

Nor precious clothes we are wearing,

But on how many people visit us,

In our death bed when we are dying.

It may not be now, but when?

It may not be like what we want, but how?

For there is only one thing is us.

That life is just once.

For I would rather die a thousand times,

Than to live with no love at all.

I rather have a thousand deaths,

Than live without peace.

Do not waste every moment,

For it may be just a second or a minute,

With just one accident,

With just an unexpected death.
