I miss when life was simpler
When Death was just a thought
but the  innocence of childhood is a jewel which can't be bought.

Those memories too often come flooding back
A reminder of what once was and what I've come to lack
I miss when life was simpler and wish for the days
When Death was just a musing
And time was void of that desolate haze

I miss when life was simpler and long for the days of self assurance
For when Death becomes reality
Such qualities rarely stand with endurance.

Death is part of life, but I wish that it was simpler.
