Life is an advance:
what you borrow is Time,
no limit it seems, at the start.
Silver in months, years are in Gold

Life is a lease:
its terms inflexible
locked in from day one.
Silver in seasons, ages in Gold

Love is a lending:
that seeks no return
the interest compounded each day.
Silver in reasons and values in Gold

Death is a debt
a bond that is broken
no interest in life from the start.
Pay-off in sorrows - heartbreak untold.
