Born to Live!
September 1, 2015
WHEN A GUEST COMES HOME
WE SAY HI!
OUT OF JOY,
BUT .......
WHEN THE GUEST GOES,
WE SAY BYE,
OUT OF SORROW.
A GUEST COMES LIKE A BUD
IN A FLOWER ,
IT GROWS EVENTUALLY
TILL IT ,
BLOSSOMS,
GIVES SEEDS
&
PASSES ON ITS DUTIES TO
OTHER BUDS.
FINALLY IT STARTS DRYING UP,
TO LEAVE ITS MORTAL BODY,
AND PROCEED TO ITS LONG,
JOURNEY TO HEAVEN
© Joseph S., San Anselmo, CA

In this poem I want to convey the message that a human is not born to die but is born to live.
