This poem has nothing to do with the title.
This poem is all about YODO'LS.

YODO'LS (You Only Die Once, Live Strongly).
This is true, so don't go through life being lonely.
Do something important with your life.
Do not focus on the sorrow and strife.
Fined something you love, than do it well.
If not your life could turn into a big living hell.
Find something to stand for, and then give it your all.
Then into temptation you never will fall.

YODO'LS (You Only Die Once, Love Strongly).
This is true, do this and you will never be lonely.
Love your family, love your friends.
Do this and your good times will never end.
Love your country, serve your church.
Then forgive all the people who cause you to hurt.
Love all those who love you, and love all those who hate.
Give all things your best, your attitude at first rate.

YODO'LS (You Only Die Once, listen Strongly).
Let this sense stand out from many.
Hear your heart, hear your soul.
Let your listening, complete your whole.
Your inner voice is your outer heart.
To master this, it is an art.
Intently hear those who are around.
Then sort out in your heart if there's truth to be found.

YODO'LS (You Only Die Once, learn Strongly).
Learn all you can and you'll remember your life fondly.
Respect your principle and your teacher.
Respect your deacon and your preacher.
Listen to your grandpa tell an old war tail.
History's told best, from someone who was there.
Learn your faith, and learn your smarts.
Then most importantly what's in your heart.

YODO'LS (Yo Yo's On Dumplings Over Lickerish Sauce).
True, this ending has nothing to do with the poem.
But then again, neither did the title.
