We All Die Too Young

Adam had a long, long life He was 930 years old When he died And Eve, his beloved wife Lived for about 930 years Now, we all die too young After sinning, after the flood Noah was 950 years old When he died 350 years after the flood Jesus Christ was crucified at the age of 32 Lemech, his father died At the age of 777 Said died at 969 Said was the oldest man ever Should we blame the bloody flood For today's early or untimely death? Our lifespan is too short And a lot of fools think That they have all of the time In the world. Living for a long Long time should be the norm Living for more than a century Should be the song That we ought to hum like a charm We will die all too young. P.S. I lost a very dear soul, less than a week ago. She was a friend, aunt, mother, and grandmother. Mrs. Ernest Leveque was only 104 years young.May her soul rest in peace!
