From the moment we’re born we’re waiting for life
A very best friend, a birthday, husband or wife
And we’re missing the time as it passes us by
Eating, sleeping, studying, working, die

The waiting for the better never ends
We’re moving on from family or friends
Then and there and when and how?
But we never stop and live right now

We’re born, we sleep, we learn and grow
Family dies, pets leave and friends always go
The problem is not what will happen then
It’s not how, it’s not where, and it’s not when

No, take a break, settle down and don’t think at all
You have been given a life, now answer it’s call
Not what you like? Well, then change it now!
Don’t let the future make you knee and bow!

You may worry about a trip or test
You may be wondering what is your best?
Well, that’s ok, but don’t let your life
Be murdered coldly by the waiting’s knife
One of the first poems I wrote in english.
