Life is easy to obtain Life is easy to lose Whether young Whether old Cherish every day As if it's your very last Cherish every moment Breathe in that oxygen Love the ones who need it Care about the ones who love you Do everything you can To make your life good To make your life worth it all The sadness, the tears The happiness, the smiles The downfalls, the highs If you live your life right You'll only need to live it once And grow old together with The ones who saw you as a kid The ones who saw you become the adult That they had loved and cared about
This doesn't rhyme well, but nevermind. My poem was inspired by the death of Cory Monteith, who tragically died yesterday. It reminded me that, life is easy to gain, but it's also easy to lose.
