The Three Gifts

Life is a wonderful feeling,

Love is an incredible power,

Death is a beautiful blessing,

All lovely and yet dangerous.

Life, a great feeling,

Powerful in its own right.

Wonderful, yet sometimes lonely.

A tragedy especially when lost or taken.

Love, a strong power,

A gift, great with life.

Incredible, yet sometimes deadly.

A loss heightened by life and death.

Death, a strange gift,

A power loved to be experienced.

Beautiful, yet sometimes frightening.

A departure to a better world.
