The Perfect Life

After reading "The Perfect Life" by John Koethe I got a sense of our different perspectives of life once we are getting older and older. How he says "In satisfaction at the conclusion of each day" made me realize how lucky we are and that we should enjoy everyday that we have been granted with. But after he talks about all of his positive things in life he suddenly starts talking about how time starts to fade away, and how something that seemed beautiful then has no importance and is indifferent now. Little by little he starts saying that he starts losing his strength and that in the end of our journey through life we all die.

It is a great poem that shows how life will one day fade away.
