How to Die.

There's no trick; No grand plan,
To watching the sun set,
Seize the day; Have your time,
And don't you this forget,

Don't let laughter pass you by,
Dance when the moment takes you,
Sing, sing ho-ho-hi,
Each day, my boy, is brand new!

There's time enough for video-games,
When you're grey and old,
Feel the rain, while you're still young,
Embrace the warmth, the cold,

True love never did run smooth,
But it comes but once a life-time
Don't tarry my lad, take her by the hand,
And smile when church-bells do-chime,

So when it's time to leave this world,
Be it to oblivion or God's grace,
Know that you lived life to the full,
And you'll go with a smile on your face.
