The List of Life
What does one decide
To be awesome before
They have died?
Neither sun nor a run
Neither dessert nor a shirt
Neither being hearty or at a party
Neither watching TV nor drinking tea
Neither eating snacks nor avoiding tax
Neither writing a song nor just getting along
Neither riding a boat nor getting a new coat
Neither having a snowball fight nor seeing a glorious site
Neither playing with a kid nor getting the bid
Neither rising above nor falling in love
For each of these things
Though fit for the kings
Are not what is awesome on Earth
But just a part of the list of life
That begins right at birth
