Death, the greatest teacher: Couplets

Death, the greatest teacher: Couplets

At birth, death arrives as a friend,

Life's a shadow, until the end.

Death, life's great and truthful art,

Life precious, death plays a crucial part.

Leave desires, earthly pleasures behind,

Do good deeds, life and death entwined.

Death certain, wisdom's open gate,

Life's ending note, yet not defeat.

Fill life with love, and righteous deeds,

Death, life's beautiful summit it leads.

Break attachments, illusions' hold,

Connect life to its zenith bold.
