LIFE

BY ANNA STRATE


 

A hug, a smile, a gentle kiss,

If I were gone tomorrow these I’d miss.

 

When in life I took for granted.

Those in death are all abandoned.

 

Where do we go when we die?

Not being scared would be a lie.

 

Do we come back in another life?

Reliving so much pain and strife.

 

Why does this seem so bleak?

I feel sickly, frail and weak.

 

Brand me a cynic if you dare.

I know things aren’t always fair.
