We're born.
We live.
We die.
That's just the way the world works.
But what happens between all that?
We laugh.
We cry.
We prance about
With joy in our eyes.
We love.
We care.
We worry and worry
And send up our prayers.
We hope.
We dream.
We build ourselves up
And have self-esteem.
We give.
We take.
We pledge our heart
Although it may break.
And so I confess I've wondered
The need for all these things.
But in the end
We need them, don't we?
To live.
