Easy Come, Easy Go Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Life is a golden book
It is not enough just read once
First we cry, laugh, and cry again
Easy to come, easy to go

When the play is over
where is the glory and our dear friend?
When the game is finished
who is the winner and the joker?
Is it more important
than the journey we've taken?

The wheel of fortune keeps running around
whether we are up or fall apart
We never know what laugh
the world can give to us
