A newborn child is brought onto Earth,
Every 4.2 seconds.
And I hope every single one of them,
Can avoid death's beacons.
Or at least for at least a while,
Until their lives are lived.
And their family and their friends,
Can be happy with how they did.
For dying is inescapable,
And we all choke out a last breath.
We all simply need to know,
For every life, there is a death.
Though every newborn child,
Doesn't need to realize,
That everything that wants to live,
Also needs to die.
But don't get your hopes up child,
(And I'm not one to lie.)
Get ready to disappoint,
For you're born, you live, and you die.
