&quot;When you were born, you were crying <br /> And everyone around you was smiling.<br /> Live your life so that when you die,<br /> You&#039;re the one who is smiling<br /> And everyone around you is crying.&quot;


They look down upon the two.
walking beside the lake, so blue.
It looks as if they're happy there.
Walking around without a care.
They move together through the night
While the moon and stars provide their light.

And the night skies
blamed the sunrise
for the ending of the stars.
And for the ending of the moon.
For the ending of the love, between those two.

But what they did not know
is this love will grow.
The end of the night was not the end.
For the setting of the sun allows a new night to begin.

They will be back, without a doubt.
For this togetherness is what they can't live without.
For this, they cannot wait.

The stars await their return.
To light the night, as they yearn.

To illuminate the path and the waterfront for the two.

Life isn&#039;t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.<br /> <br /> You are only as strong as your weakest link.

I love the quiet, peaceful tone of this poem, and the great imagery used. Good work!
