A LIFE WORTHY OF RECALL Death is inevitable,life and all shall end, Far and distant notion , life we spend , Our energies directed to gather fame , wealth, By just and fair means or by stealth.
No compassion or desire to share, Attitude of pride and egos on lapel we bear, Knowingly or otherwise , insult and hurt, Amassed riches are left behind, is it worth? Sooner then later natural to forget, Lifelong mourning , a lip service to express regret, Live and let live with thoughts for others to spare, Perpetually on lips and hearts of persons you did care. Be grateful with what you have , be content, Not living for others is cause to repent, Position, fame qualifications earned in life, memory will not extend, The lives you touched , all that matters in the end. Concerns for family , natural obligation and duty Toil, labour ,sacrifices no colourful design of beauty Cherished memories that you will live behind, The joy of living for others that will only remind. Entombed selfishness , present future and past , Not praise worthy to recall or meant to last, contentment, living for others gratitude not in vain One is reborn forever to live again Rituals ,customs as you lie forlorn in the grave, Mourning with spiritual attitude are acts to be brave, A sign of loss is the black attire, Sooner than later your active memory will retire Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
