One is All You Get

I. First breath, a new world.

A wail, a longing for home.

A journey begins.

II. Breath, eat, sleep, repeat.

Memories begin to stick;

Learning never ends.

III. Hapiness, Love, Loss,

All lead to understanding

Nothing is simple

IV. Getting the hang of

The twists and turns of a life

That goes by too fast.

V. A well-earned last breath,

A sigh, a longing for home,

A journey ends.
