Life, so precious
more costly than any other gem in this world
protect it, enjoy it and savor its sweet memories
etched, imprinted, with an eternal seal
no one can fathom nor penetrate its perfect haven
in the deepest realm of thoughts

Yet, fleeting with time is one's strength
his aging body succumbs to illnesses
that even a god's nectar could neither heal
for the law of nature speaks
to dust we all come, to dust we shall return
no potion nor wonder drug could ever prevent
a flower from wilting; likewise, life borrowed is life returned.
