Death's Shadow
Deaths shadow
waits with silent arms
from birth
he grasps the night
of silent charms
Each day of life
but one,
with less to share,
death grasps the night
of silent charms
We laugh we play
we step with eye's of joy
we grasp our life
and play with childrens toys
he waits with silent charms
with age
come's twisted back's
forgotten joy
he waits with open arms
for your caress
The shadow of the night
you didn't miss
the walker waiting
in the silent mist
I do not worry
Death the doorway
to a better life
if God exists
then heavans wait's
with arms of love
but then perhaps
no thoughts
a silent mind
no more to think
with nothing on your mind
Heavan or nothing
what's to worry
No mind no thought
no problem
To us, a death is doom
and gloom,
to God it's just a door
that leads to home
The gift of God is love
his joy awaits
heavans home of joy
awaits his thrown
my love awaits
the midnight hour
when time demands
my shadows flight.
Perhaps in life
the fear of death
can rule your home
and cause a rift
Yet what have we
to fear my friend
a life in heavan
or it ends.
