Just like a flower,
which comes like a bud,
goes like a shower,
petals are shattered,
leaves are shed,
all that is left,
streams that are dead.
So is man,
with a short life span,
should try to help others,
as much as he can,
take life seriously,
and not so light,
it is not so light,
but a fight for the right.
