The Three Gifts (Revised and Completed)

Life is a wonderful feeling,

Love is an incredible Power,

Death is a beautiful blessing.

All lovely and dangerous.

Life is a great feeling,

Powerful in its own right.

Wonderful and yet sometimes lonely.

A tragedy when lost or taken.

Love is a strong power,

A blessing that adds to life.

Incredible, yet sometimes deadly.

A loss heightened by life and death.

Death is a strange blessing,

A feeling we have to have.

Beautiful, yet sometimes frightening.

A journey to a better world.

Life is heightened by love.

Love is strengthened by Death.

Death begins a new life.

The three are gifts of pain.
