Die Because You Lived

Folder: 
Book I: Part III

We live to die,

But make sure when you die

You died because you lived.

You may learn to love

And some day to forgive,

To hell or heavens above

Make sure it’s life you don’t forget.

Some were born to smile

Others born to cry,

Many to cause us pain

But all are born to die.

Respect your life today

Because each day is borrowed,

If you make it to the next

You can give back today tomorrow.

Feel you heart beat

Attempting to beat out of your chest,

Let your strength keep it in deep

So it can’t escape when laid to rest.

We live for everything we do

Not always what we did,

Make in between birth and death true

By dying because you lived.
