Young People May Look On Me

Young people may look on me as an old man But I want to live for as long as I can Others have their opinions and that suits me fine And what they think of me is their business not mine But the fact of the matter since facts never lie Is that all air breathing life forms are born to die But I want to live for as long as I can And die without pain as a very old man And to all of you who do read this doggerel Enjoy life if you can and do live it well And why worry of the existence of the after-life, God, Heaven or Hell Since of such the deceased never come back to tell And though youngster in your eyes I may seem quite old Age is a relative thing as we are often told.
