Let’s Live Long (Poem)
Life is short,
But long.
It is short because
We have about a hundred and twenty years.
Yet it is long because
We can impact generations
To come through the actions
And decisions we make.
No one ought to live
For oneself alone,
Because we live long
When we live with others in mind;
We live long
When we strive to be of impact to others;
We live long
When we live with a sense of duty to humanity.
But we live short
When we live for ourselves alone,
Even if we were to spend a thousand years.
No one was made for themselves;
We are made for each other.
Let’s live long.
