At your funeral

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Some people are so so afraid of living life in the fast lane It's such a wast to think I'm never allowed to live the good life I'm too young now to be in love Or so I'm told day by day And yet, these are the best years of my life But I'm too young to do things my way I might be young, not wise with age like you But at your funeral I lay a rose upon your grave I'll be telling the young what I told you today I'll sill be walking this world and you'll wish you'd been dumb too I'm too young now to be in love I'm curious, then, what this feeling is If these are the best years of my life Then how come my heart is in so much pain Don't you ever wonder If at your funeral people will cry Will they say your time was too short Or will they be relieved your're finally gone When everyone gathers At your funeral Will anyone be able to honestly say "Well at least, You had a good life" Written February 18th, 2002 © on Feb 18 2002 02:23 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
