There’s Only One Way Out
All it takes is a lifetime
The circle of life is a curious thing,
And it’s one we are all guaranteed,
There’s a start and a definitive finish line,
It’s written in humanity’s famous creed.
But that’s all that we can bank on,
The rest is one day at a time,
Your decisions, your wins, your mistakes, your lessons,
Yours will be different from mine.
Life is short, brutal, beautiful and essential,
A period made up of thousands of minutes in a day,
Many a sunrise, hundreds of sunsets,
A rainbow on the horizon, a quintessential array.
