I CANNOT DIE!
(An old poem, trash, but basically for all those who thing I can't write anything positive in my life!)
I cannot die, for I have loved
Life and its gifts, each rose and thorn
I cannot die, for I have lived
In the hearts of those whose friendship I adorn
I cannot die, for death is an end
But time doesn't end; I live with the time
I cannot die, for death is defeat
But I refuse to quit, so failure ain't mine
I cannot die, for my smiles will live
My words, my deeds will stay behind
I cannot die, for 'I' is just not this body
It is my soul, my heart, my mind
I cannot die, till the time
When my battle against fear is won
I cannot die, I'll only retire
From this world- when my job is done...
I cannot die, for I have loved
Life and its gifts, each rose and thorn
I cannot die, for I have lived
In the hearts of those whose friendship I adorn
I cannot die, for death is an end
But time doesn't end; I live with the time
I cannot die, for death is defeat
But I refuse to quit, so failure ain't mine
I cannot die, for my smiles will live
My words, my deeds will stay behind
I cannot die, for 'I' is just not this body
It is my soul, my heart, my mind
I cannot die, till the time
When my battle against fear is won
I cannot die, I'll only retire
From this world- when my job is done...

|meanwhile, nice poem;
you will die
and so will i

and everything will end
and the world will reboot
one morning, without you.

when will the job be doen is a difficult question to answer...
|but there is a job for sure..
Just remembered one of Richard bach's famous quotes..
"There's a simple test to know if your mission on earth is finished. If you are alive, it isn't."
Many a times we don't see a reason as to why we exist..there seems to be no purpose to our existence at all.
That is when we need to remember that we must live, because there is a job we have to do somewhere, that we dont yet know of!
