Life Is Short, Let Us Make It Sweet

Life Is Short, Let Us Make It Sweet - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Life I wonder what thou art But know thou sweet and short Yet with bitterness and disgrace Every day we fight Over share of land and other assets While God above laughs For all land is his and our life is too short To be wasted in bitterness and hatred most Then what is the purpose of life If we don't fight for what is legitimate And that's only fair and just As long as it breaks not homes It divides not families It brings not disharmony and turbulence In life too short yet sweet For the aim of life is to cultivate the soul And to experience peace and bliss This life is given to us Not to own and possess But to love and give and share With those less fortunate than we are At the end of earthly journey Do we realize the time that We have wasted in futile pursuits But it is never too late We can start right now And prepare for the long Onward, forward journey That we all have to undertake sooner or later
