What Is Life ?

Sky... I'm looking at the sky through my childhood eyes.
I remember a day,
The day when I just wanted to say...
What is life?
Life is a river, a snake slither, a taker and a giver.
You give and you get, just never forget,
How much your worth, in life and birth,
When you take you're last breath on the boarder of death...

When you think your nothing, remember your something.
Something special to someone.
So never forget the day;
The day when it all came in to place.
The day when you looked up to the sky through your childhood eyes.
