Life Ballad

Life is short, they say Live it to the fullest. Life is a gift, they say Treasure every minute. What a tragedy, they say When a young person dies. They went too soon, they say They had their whole life ahead of them. Life is precious, they say So live like it’s your last day. Time is golden, they say So don’t waste it away. These lessons are true, they say So take heed and listen. Take my advice, they say And cherish the little things. It was an accident, they say Going to a clinic. I wasn’t ready, they say After the abortion. Life is a gift, they say But they took someone’s so carelessly. Life is precious, they say But they threw it away like garbage. Listen to me, I say Life is a beautiful thing. Don’t take it away, I say Why destroy what we create?
