Life and Death 

Life takes effort, as wherein death seemingly takes no effort 

It's an odd truth 

It takes time for a seed to sprout into a sapling, as well as a lot of tlc (tender love and care) to flourish

It takes a gentle hand, a precise amount sunlight and water, for a piece of flora to flourish, and the same can be said about an infant growing into a person capable 

An effort must be made for there to be life 

Whereas when it comes to death, it is an entirely different matter 

Death can come stake a claim on our souls on any given time 

Hit by an incoming vehicle ...

Being at the wrong place during the wrong time ... 

Caught in the middle ... 

Drowning both in the literal and metaphorical sense ... 

Death can come claim 

Not even an infant is safe from the ending of creation (with stillborn syndrome and even before, with miscarriages happening at inoppurtune times) 

It's sad a truth, but I believe it one people acknowledge a lot of the time 

Why else do people say "Cherish the time you have in this life"? 

Life takes effort p, as wherein death seemingly takes no effort
