Comparing a Paraphrase with a Poem Don’t tell me life has no meaning, When the soul is active, it is alive, Things aren’t always as bad or good as they seem. All duties in life should be fulfilled honestly, You don’t live to die, You were made out of dust when you were created, you will return to that form when you die, Though the soul does not return to the Earth as your body will. We are not destined to have happiness or sorrow, We need to focus on today, so that we can progress tomorrow. Time is always passing, Our hearts continue to beat none the less, Every heart beat brings us closer to death. In the struggles of life, There are safe havens, though do not always turn to them for comfort, Go out and change something. Don’t live for a predetermined future and don’t dwell on the past, Act and live for now, knowing God is looking down on you and knowing your still alive.
