(Loudly) "IF I TOLD YOU HOW MANY THINGS LIVE IN ME, YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHY I'M STILL ALIVE!"
That is if I am what you consider "alive".
I've provided so much to those around me that I'm blessed with the opportunity to do so. Day after day, week after week, month after month.
I could go on and on as my time long precedes yours and would go long past when you're gray and old.
I've got the wildest stories to share you like this tree that fell? OMG! It was the talk of the town for at least 2 minutes!
Lots of things happen here. It's so busy but it's really not at the same time.
Don't take that for granted.

Poems do not have to explain everything. Sometimes the resonance is the meaning.
