This life is not long enough
For none of us
From those who never make it
Out of the womb
To those who live to see
A century pass and go on
This life is too short
For all of us
From the babies that never made it
Out from beneath their mothers ribs
To those sitting in wheelchairs
Being neglected in the places
We shamefully call homes
Life is no more than a moment
A candle waiting to be kissed
By wind and death
A bee giving up its end
To protect itself and die
A leaf let go by branch
And forgotten by tree
A fly trapped in a web
A feast for a spider
A spider beneath foot
A sandstorms last breath
From within the hourglass
No, No, No
Life is not long enough
Life is all too short
A moment to push through the soil
To be kissed by rain
And sun
And death
Let the moment not go to waste
And fade in the grip of oblivion
Take each moment and each breath
As if forever to be your last
Forgive harm and self
Give time patience ans kindness
Find and keep love
From the first moment
To the last
For in loves embrace
I became lost in your gaze
And the moment gave
My heart
To immortality
