    Life: And then again

    Can one life really be enough
    Well, so what if it makes you tough.
    Another time may be for sensitivity.
    Lets not forget humility.

    There may be a glorious artist
    hiding in you-a stage to perform
    a zeal to persist
    an agonizing expression you just can't resist.

    You may want children in the life
    that makes you tough
    You may be a humanitarian
    to develop other stuff.

    A poor man or a rich has the
    same values to learn;
    a cleric or a prophet has reasons to
    be born.

    The poor and the suffering are promised the gate-for Christ said let the least among you be served the
    first plate.

    I won't stop at this life and think it's over
    I'll remember the lessons I learned from the father.
    My next time around on this wild merry-go round
    I won't fear the end but will remember whats found.
