MORTAL COIL



How life is frail

How short is life

We lose our grip on the rail

And suddenly lose it like

a victim of stabs from a knife


We blossom like flower

Then we wither

Like a passing shadow,

We quickly disappear


Even the trees are full hope!

They never die,

but are reborn and full of life 

Though its roots have grown old in the earth

and its stump decays,

at the scent of water it will bud 

and reborn again like a new born baby


But when life leaves the mortal body,

our strength is gone 

We breathe our last,

and then where are we ?

As water evaporates from a lake 

and a river disappear in drought,

people are laid to rest and do not rise again

Until the heavens are more ,they will not wake up

nor be roused from their sleep


My question is,

"Do you want your life to end here?

Do you want live once and die twice(physical and spiritual)

Or die once and live twice? "


Think!
