Before His Time

When someone dies before his time, It’s more than merely sad, Despite the fact that no one knew Just how much time he had. I guess “Before his time” implies The person died quite young, But do we really know which side Of death we’ll be among? The George Burns’ side? A century Of living quite fulfilled? Or Philip Seymour Hoffman’s, Forty-six when he was killed? There rarely is a time to die That’s deemed exactly “right,” But someday each of us will get To say our last “good night.”
