I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
I am a live
A part of another live
And an extension of another live
I am a history
A part of your history
And extension of our history
I am a life of my own
A part of the life of my parents
And an extension of the the life of my generation
I am a history of my own
A part of the history of my family
And an extension of the history of my generation
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
In my life
There is an element of my father’s life
An element of my mother’s life
An element of my brother’s life
An element of my sister’s life
An element of my family’s life
And an element of my neighbors life
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
In my life
There’s an element of my teachers life
An element of my students life
Element of my friends life
And an element of my enemies life
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
In my life
There’s an element of life of those I love and those that love me
The life of those I dislike and those that dislikes me
That of those I know and those that knows me
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
My life is also a part of the things I do and parts of those things that do me
It is also a part of the food I eat and those that made me their food
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
If you care to know
My my life is also a part of the air that I breathe in
And that of the plant that breathe me in
Yes, I am part of the earth that I feed
And that of the soil that feeds me
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
I am a life
An independent life
A universal life and a dependent life.
If only you know
That you are my life and that I am your life
A part of another life
And an extension of another life
You would have treated another life with care
Like my own life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
I am a life
A part of your life
And an extension of our life
