Living Life.

Goldfinch60



That day came when you were born,

On that day you cried,

On that day the world rejoiced.

 

As you go through life

Live it so well that

On the day you die the world cries,

Cries in sorrow,

And on that day you rejoice,

Rejoice in joy.

    Yes indeed. One said 'Live so as to be missed' (when you pop off): Robert Murray McCheyne. OK, I added the words in brackets.
    They'll miss my singing, but they'll rejoice in the silence! heehee.

      Very true Orchi.

      Sing loud and long Orchi, I still cannot hear you.
