Flourishing Life and reaping Death A fated relationship, One which dooms greenery into ash Although strife is expected Death shall be respected Aware of the destruction and pain Death’s question remains, “Why must I be destined to destroy Life’s beauties?” “Why must I cut short the beginnings of buds, And push forth a frost which kills them off?” But through it all, Life will answer his call As long as there is growth, There must be the sweet release of decay Your sleighing is justified, Don’t allow your doubts to waste you away
