Reason to Live

Four days ago, I pondered and all I did was swore,
One thing I won’t do is quit when I’m not done,
Twenty years plus and I still aim to achieve plenty,
Two things in life gave me a clue,
Three-sixty-five days will come and man must survive,
Three-sixty-six sometimes, life is filled with so much tricks,
Seven billion and more people but we all can’t be even,
Zero people were born great, we all push to be a hero.
Five reasons are why I’ll fight hard to strive,
One is to make me, my dad, a proud son,
One is so my peers don’t see me and shun,
Three others are on code to see me live in peace and free.
Two years from now, I’ll proudly tag someone ‘boo’,
One wife, five kids, and to marriage I’m done,
Fifty shades of happiness, thou shall live large and be thrifty.
