LIfe`s not worth dying, life is worth living, the same old carpe diem, and
what a joy life is.
Known and used theme of the splendour of the rose and its too soon death.

or the pessimistic approach...

When something is good and beautiful, you say "itīs worth dying for".
Life not being worth dying for, could then be interpreted as a pessimistic
view of life.

Still, e.e. cummings loves life, and the moment, and the remembrence, and
the yes..., so I stick to the first interpretation.

This Poem I find gives me inspiration on every day I live and the day I
just might die,As everything lives by night or by day,I thrive inside just
to know that I cannot lie. Thank- you for this inspiration
