Why did you come into my life when I was young and stupid,
When I was unwise, uncouth and timid?
You should have come into my life when I was slightly older,
When I was less biased, buoyant and bolder.
For back then I couldn’t understand your worth,
At that time everything was fun, frolic and mirth.
Why did you die when I had slowly started respecting you,
When I realized that your friendship was true?
You should have died when you were old and lame,
When you were happily living with your children and your dame.
Tis extremely unfair that you died before realizing any of your dreams,
God had a different plan for you it seems.
