Born to Live

I would like to be a flower which blooms to full glory and dies,

Than be an everlasting tree that never blossoms.

I would like to be a spark that burns with a brilliant blaze, even for but a moment,

Than be a light which cannot show path to anyone.

I would like to be a superb meteor which carries a magnificent glow,

Than be a sleepy and permanent planet.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.

I shall use my time.

I am born to Live. Not to Exist.
