How short is Life A baby's breath away The span of a rainbow The end to a Prayer How long is Life A Stone's throw away A crack in the sidewalk Pinocchio 's nose How deep is Life The depth of a paper cut Twelve feet of water A Religious novel How sweet is life A family full of love Chocolate filled with nuts The purring of a cat How sad is life Alife that had no chance Innocent behind bars Reactions to diabetes and crimes Whether short or long sweet or sad We are.on hallowed ground.
