Life. I've heard it said,

Life - It can be fatal.

Except fatality, it is assured.

I've heard it said with wit and jest
I speak simply of life

Not one endeavour choice or charge
Just the act of birth

Each day someone comes tumbling in
Oft assist from midwife

Seldom occurring to the throng
One guarantee on earth

Of all the things they promise you
Keep safe, wealth out of strife

Regardless of the luck or road
There's no giving it girth

Eventually we'll all meet it
Not just misventured strife

A fateful path it's guaranteed
Live now with joy and mirth.
