Cycle of Life and Death
"I'm not sure why every leaf must die."
My child said to I.
"That is the continuing cycle of life, my dear."
I assured her fear.
Life begins so small
Later it grows and grows tall
When the time comes at the end
Life will great death like a friend
Life was never meant to be forever
Immortality is an impossible endeavour
But do not fear your death someday
Enjoy the life you have with others today
And each day that follows from here on out
