Analysis of Life



What is life?
It's looking at the world through peace and harmony.
It's knowing the warmth of love is shared from sea to sea.
It's the joy of sharing and giving.
All the beauty that comes from living.
It's reaching out a freindly hand.
To show some freindly guidance across the land.
Watching a new baby being born.
The innocent look on his little face, joining this big human race.
It's really a lot of things.
Best of all the happiness it brings.
Life comes and life goes.
And with it babies are born and people grow old.
And as the seconds turn into minutes,  minutes into hours, hours into days.
There's a beauty life brings with it in many ways.
Like the beauty of love that comes between any two living things.
Or the feeling of happiness it brings.
But just as all living things are born, they are also made to die.
Lest you ever ask yourself why?
