Poetry: Life & death

by Jishi Santos

Created on: August 30, 2011

Life and death, the beginning and end,

so grateful for this gift, I am for my breath.

Life is a mystery how we  came  to be here,

but so special it is, we don't want to think of death.


In the interim we make the best of this gift

and work hard to be good not bad, yes we do.

If peace is to prevail there must be no rift,

so give of yourself and freely we flew.....


....like birds of one feather, always together

protecting our life force with humility,

flying free through all sorts of weather,

our mission  reflects our ability.


Life and death, health in between, is a must,

for without this it's hard  to battle disease,

so it must be in God that we trust,

for life then may take on some ease.
