Why is it so literal

Life is a gift to man

Why is it so typical

By surprise it often ends

In times of great loss

We remember for a moment

Life comes at a cost

And we must try to own it

Live for those you cherish

Be there for those you love

For upon Heaven’s terrace

They watch you from above

Your duty is to their memory

A mission clear in sight

See with God given clarity

We who remain must continue to fight

Love yourself

And love this life

Love your family

And you’ll win this fight
