Life is a Breathe Away - Dedicated to Dr. James Yip

This short prose is my dedication to Dr. James Yip of NUH who performed a heart procedure for my daughter recently in Mar 2009.

Life is a Breathe Away by Peter Lye dedicated to Dr. James Yip

Life starts with the our first breathe
Life ends with our last breathe
Birth defines the start of life
Death defines the end of life

Moment by moment
Life is lived
Measure by measure
In equal measure
Hasten nor Delay

Naked we Arrive

Naked we Return
Clothed in Between
Finery for Some
Rags for Others

Parents and Child
Always Matched Supernaturally
Neither have Choice
Love one Another
Respect as Minimum

Placed in Situations
Good or Bad
Choice or Fate
Happiness or Sorrow
Choice is Ours

Complete Life Control
Only in Dreams
Everything is Fated
Not a Reality
Control whatever Possible
