Living In The Sun

Rolling around laughing
In the summer sun
Playful and wild,
All the young
Beautiful children.

Life, the state one finds themself in when living, is a fragile thing. This state of Life, in reality, is the only thing we live for. In the teenage years, one learns much about Life, if not its value, then its extremely brittle nature. As a child, we do not understand Life much at all, let alone the notion of Death. We are observant enough to notice the perpetual absence of a loved one, but not yet intelligent enough to know how, or why, or to feel much sadness. Growing up, in the later teenage years, most have experienced the loss of someone close to them. It is a constant reminder, that Death can take us at any time - Life is not forever.
