This was a life That had hardly begun No time to find Your place in the sun No time to do All you could have done But we loved you enough for a lifetime. No time to enjoy The world and its wealth No time to take life Down off the shelf No time to sing The song of yourself Though you had enough love for a lifetime. Those who live long Endure sadness and tears But you’ll never suffer The sorrowing years: No betrayal, no anger, No hatred, no fears, Just love – only love – in your lifetime.
