Cycle of Life and Death

"I'm not sure why every leaf must die."

My child said to I.

"That is the continuing cycle of life, my dear."

I assured her fear.

Life begins so small

Later it grows and grows tall

When the time comes at the end

Life will great death like a friend

Life was never meant to be forever

Immortality is an impossible endeavour

But do not fear your death someday

Enjoy the life you have with others today

And each day that follows from here on out
