Life Can Be Heartbreaking

Life can be heartbreaking would you not agree He studied and worked hard for his science degree Graduated with honors a great career of him seemed ahead But now he lay lifeless in the place of the dead One of the brightest young people on his side of the town On a pedestrian crossing he was struck and knocked down By the driver of a stolen car in a case of hit and run He died on the street in the mid morning sun Of how long we live there is no guarantee On July the eight he would turn twenty three Grieved by his friends and family and the woman who was to be his wife Suppose he was not meant for to live a long life A handsome young man with a brilliant mind He was a good person known to be caring and kind At his funeral elegy his praises were sung In his case it is true the good do die young A life tragically cut short that does seem sad to say Suppose it was destined he should die in this way Since we are after all born to mortality And the way that we die is part of our life's destiny.
