Death is a stolen life,
Never too old to die,
Always too young.

Soldiers barely of age,
Laying down their lives,
For a country they love.

The ones misunderstood,
Taking their own,
Never thinking it through.

Little Children in the hospital,
Sick of the incurable,
Surrounded by family and ones who love them.

Death is a stolen life,
Never too old to die,
Always too young.
