Don't want to...

 Don’t want to die old

Decrepit and torn

Forgotten and lost

Forever forlorn 


Don’t want to live life

One step at a time

Watch it in slow motion 

Rip through my feeble mind


I want to charge forth 

Like the fist of the wind

Ride milestones 

In a rage of a whim


I want to die young

Feeling light in my soul 

While my body declines 

And my breath goes afoul 


I would like to see you

Grow and cherish each dram

Of the time and the love

Left behind when I am gone!
