You Get One Invitation to Life

gabbic1219 on Apr 3, 2011

How we are all here some alike,yet some very different but in the end its all the same,we are born to die. you only get one try!

As i breath each breathe and my heart pumps blood ever beat

I lie here wondering about the cycle of life,the creation , how neat

We are giving health,as some are giving illness

It can be a hit ,It can be a miss

Fleash covered bones, skin of all different tones

We all breathe the same air,we all have things we can not bare

Very many differences in culture, but all the same in death

No matter how unalike, we all have an end

Some to soon, some blessed with longevity

This is life,so from bitrh were all here to attend

Wether you wanted the invitation or not

Live it to the fullest it’s your one and only shot

I lost my wife of 40 years in June 2007 to cancer. That event, catastrophic, yes, has taught me lots of things.

Maybe some day I will share them…

I echo the sentiment of happy doodle girl.

Great lines and rhyme scheme.
