Life

Up, down, left, right
Nothing could escape this dreary night
For when his time was to come
There was nowhere to hid, scurry, or run

For we all know there is an expiration
For every time, place, or expectation
Life is not bitter nor sweet
But instead something not all of us may keep

Rewinding back to memories taken for granted
Reminiscing on what once was a habit
But forever changing our growth must be
A control no amount of time can foresee

The present a time to live the fullest
Never knowing what life will give
It is the price for living in the moment
If not spent how quickly life can be stolen

Reaching our end of life's truest beginnings
Closing each chapter for new periods in time
Fortunate are those blessed with moments to come
A treasure not all of us may find
