Life, Death and Eternity

We are born to live
And enjoy life at its fullest.
But be prepared to die and live
In the bosom of eternity.
Let us enjoy life for soon death may come
Unknowingly and bring us to eternity.
Enjoy the moments of your day
Be kind to friends and strangers
Even to those who are not kind to you.
For soon you may not see them again.
Be thoughtful and bring cheer to those
Who have no one to share their lives with.
It is better to give yourself today
To someone in need of your generosity.
Do something good to someone everyday,
Then you will find that when you meet
Death at the door, you will see
Life's end as the beginning of eternity.
