A Beginning Is Often an Ending

A beginning is often an ending;

An ending is often a beginning.

Sometimes winning is losing;

Sometimes losing is winning.

 

Bad can come out of good;

Good can come out of bad.

Something that makes one happy

Might make someone else sad.

 

Though giving is better than receiving,

Sometimes receiving is giving.

Living leads to death;

Death contributes to living.

 

Bliss to some is ignorance;

Ignorance to some is bliss.

To one a miss is a hit;

To another a hit is a miss.

 

Sometimes we laugh when we cry;

Sometimes we cry when we laugh.

A bold move to you,

To me might be a gaffe.

 

A lie can sound like the truth;

The truth can sound like a lie;

Some people seem very distant,

Even though they're nearby.

 

You have to know to ask,

And you have to ask to know.

We need the earth, yes?

Does the earth need us? No!
