"Numquam finitur, donec vita finiatur."
- K. D'Angelo Alexander


Every rose has its thorns,

We can choose to let go,

Or to mourn

 

What once was, now is not

Focus not on what you had,

But what you've got

 

For all good things

Must come to an end,

"Nothing gold can stay,"

As Frost once said

 

The future can be bright, 

Or it can be dark,

It's up to you, how you leave your mark

 

Living a life filled with fear,

Will never allow goodness

To come near

 

Create your future,

Choose the right path,

Or forever suffer

What Could Have Been's Wrath

 

The choice is yours,

Carpe diem,

it's never over, until life ends
