Live as much as you can.
Be happy for what you have.
Die when death calls for you,
Even if it doesn’t make sense.
Life is to live,
Death is to die.
It’s going to happen someday,
Let’s just live while you can.

&ldquo;In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him...it&#039;s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves.&rdquo; - Orson Scott Card, Ender&#039;s Game

This was a cute little poem and my favorite of your work so far. Short and sweet. The only thing I wasn't sure about it was if you meant "Let's just live while WE can" instead of "while you can". But the message is still a good one. Not enough people live for the moment and what they have.

I agree, though to be honest - i think think death is just the dramatic gateway to a new and more permanent life.... People need to live instead of trying to prevent death, i think this poem expresses that well!!     ps. please check out my work???? thanks =D

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others, for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
