My Life

The preacher says that life is brief.

The suicide thinks it is grief.

The merchant wants a life of cash.

The homeless settle for some hash.

The soldier wants a life of duty.

The poet tries to find life's beauty.

The child thinks life is but a gift.

The old know where it soon will drift.

The meaning of my life is clear:

I'm just a modest souvenir.
