Life may be some sort of fantasy with different varieties. Like a tree that grows graciously to ashes. Like water that continuously flows in different circumstances.
Life may be good or bad. Depends on how you look at it. Depends on how you manage it.
Life may comes up short nor stays up long. Sometimes longer, if you lose your way. Sometimes shorter, if you served your purpose.
Life may have a sad and lonely ending. Or having a happy ending. Either way, live life to the fullest.
