Longevity

Longevity
I forgive your weakness
In light of all this bleakness
You were merely human
Destined to be ruined
Startled as your brevity
Turned to my longevity
I can't follow your steps
Can't go the places you went
I must forge my own path
Overcome and surpass

Startled as your brevity
Turned to my longevity
The more I see around me
The more it does to ground me
At peace with all my limits
Grateful for all I'm given
Startled as your brevity
Turned to my longevity
