Life
Life is
The one thing we all want more of
The thing that binds us all together
The only thing unarguable in this world
It without question exists
Without doubt it is real

Yet
And yet
We still wonder
What is life
What is its meaning
What value does life have
What truth does it hold

These are the things
We may never know
