Happy Birthday To You

When born you're given
A precious gift
Bestowed unto you-

LIFE

Once obtained, never returnable
But destroyable
Slowly your mind betrays you
How easy to forget
How delicate LIFE is
As the last ray of light
Reaches your eyes
You remember its frailty
Forever shattered
You try to pick up the pieces
Too late
As the last notes are sung and played
One last breath
Your gift is taken away
