Papers of Life 1

A Poem.

You are given a paper,

When you are born,

You start your life.

You are given a paper,

When you graduate,

You compete for your lifetime.

You are given a paper,

When you are married,

You fumble for your life.

You are given a paper,

When you become a leader,

You struggle for your lifetime.

You are given a paper,

When you are paid,

You work hard for your lifetime.

Very truthful, as the paper is also given to someone else when we depart this world. This was a great poem.
