An early grave is better than old age
Everything said is left as if untold
Every step vanishes from one night's sleep
Every joy erased by a tragedy
What do you get with old age
the years and struggles - the promises made
clothes to clean - children to feed
chores to be done - errands to be run
beds to be made - preachers to be paid
funerals to attend - relationships to mend
lonely days without fun - it's better to die young
