πŸšΌπŸ‘―πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘βš°οΈ

Life starts when we’re born

We learn one step at a time

Once, and then it’s gone.

πŸšΌπŸ‘―πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘βš°οΈ

Tell me what life is

β€œJust a series of moments

That is what life is.”

πŸšΌπŸ‘―πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘βš°οΈ

What is growing up?

β€œEndless experiences

That is growing up.”

πŸšΌπŸ‘―πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘βš°οΈ

Tell me what death is

β€œThat's the passing of our soul

That is what death is.”

πŸšΌπŸ‘―πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘βš°οΈ

Till next time,

Calvin

    Nicely done on two topics so close to everyone and so difficult to comprehend at times.
