Of Youth And Young Love

Of youth and young love stories are written and songs they are sung
But of course it is a fallacy that only the good do die young
I have known many good people who have lived to die old
But of them songs not sung and stories not written or told
Some good people die young and some live to die old and gray
Since life's reaper is not ageist in any sort of a way
Some die as children and teenagers and in their lives prime
And some are granted a longer spell of time
But there is fact in the saying and fact never lie
That the longer you live the sooner you will die
But that only the good do die young as a fallacy remain
This is something that seems beyond me to explain
But never believe everything you are told
Some good people die young and some good people live to die old.
