Is a long life enough?
Should it be filled with marvellous stuff?
Would that even be enough?
A long life of strife and toil,
Working the land and the soil,
Would make anyone recoil.
A life filled with good deeds,
Would be a planter who scatters,
A million rich germinating seeds.
A life of plenty and filled with leisure,
With all types of sinful pleasures,
Would be filled with unseen treasures.
A long life of sorrow, sadness and pain,
One that has more losses and no gains,
Could be a life filled with spiritual gains?
What type of long life would you like?
One filled with fortune and full of gain,
One free of any form of mental and physical pain.
Is a long life enough?
Should it be filled with marvellous stuff?
Would that even be enough?
