From babe's first cry
To happy hour
From beauty of life
Turning sour

Educate
Reciprocate
*******
Reiterate

There must be more
Hidden away
Searching for something
Starting to stray

Anticipation of a first kiss
Expectations of the welcomed bliss

Completion

Entering the work force

Bells tolling
Announcing a union between lovers

Creating a new being
Out of thin air
Only to bring them
Into a world of despair

Growing old and gray
Watching children stray

Seeing them struggle
And internally scream
Powerless to help
Nightmares from a dream

Is this all there is
There has to be more
My life has to mean something

Waves crash to the shore
Stranded out at sea
I look around and find
There is no solace for
What's left of my mind

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I fade to nothing
As iron turns to rust

Filled picnic basket
Deep sunken casket

But what I want to know is this
*When does the line
Between life
And between death
Become more than fine
