Too Old To Die Young

Castle Ashby Graveyard NorthamptonshireImage via Wikipedia

If life is like a candle bright
Death must be the wind
You can close
Your window tight
And it still comes flowing in
So I will climb the highest hill
And watch the rising sun
And I pray that I
Don’t feel the chill
Till I’m too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow
To see what they become
Oh Lord don’t let
That cold wind blow
Till I’m too old to die young

Dream

A man lay on his bed at the end of his life. His dream came to pay his last respects and bid him farewell. And as it entered the room the man looked down in shame.

“Why didn’t you realize me?” asked the dream.
