How narrow is your view?
Each and every taken breath
Is traded for another’s death.
In battle a soldier dies--
Just so his country will rise.
The joy of a baby is born;
A person succumbs as others mourn.
A random shooting occurred,
Nearby, a disease just cured,
Around the world a girl is bought,
While a couple ties the knot.
Just as life gives, it takes.
For every joy there befall aches,
But hold to hope my friend,
Jesus is coming; there will be an end.
