Forever Young
I’ve been thinking a lot about life recently
How fleeting and unfair it can be at times
How suddenly you left
Without a hug or a kiss goodbye
Maybe you were too good for this world
So much experience cramped into half a life
But then I smile
You are forever young
Forever in your prime
Forever with that beaming grin
I have no idea what happens when the light goes out
But maybe you‘re happy
Wherever you are
Drinking red wine and lighting up the room
Forever young.
