Life Sentence

If our life was easy and content
not experiencing what misery meant
Something would be missing and unreal
If only happiness one did feel.
We must take and we must give
And we should learn how to live
Thru our given years on earth
From the time of our chosen birth
Each individual has a path of its own
Perhaps in a group or even alone
It doesn't matter what is in store
What you have chosen has been done before
and if our life be short or long
or even if it was right or wrong
we were born and stayed a while
a life sentence without a trial
