To be young,to stop aging and growing
There would be no more fear of death for me
For all to end, would feel like I'm owing
My eyes would sink for all the things i would see
Unending years of a person's life go by
Would i be happy, featureless or strong?
To witness and do nothing just standby
Death, its sad, but i can't wallow life long
Chances to see the world and learn new eyes
Gaze at the stars, to see a thousand suns
To encounter questions and ask whys
To speak and question till i have dry lungs
Having enjoy or a hand full of tears

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

You are only as strong as your weakest link.
