Some Thoughts On Leaving

If ever I forget to wake, Don't let me go, for heavens sake, Just slap me hard, give me a shake! This old retard, if I am there, This hibernate deep in his lair, Will surface for his love so fair. But if I don't, then always know, ‘Twas just an early autumn snow, I didn't really want to go. And if you can awareness keep, Life comes and goes with every sleep, Death's just a veil, no need to weep . We're so attached to earthly soil, So fearful in our mortal coil, Don't let mind then your heart embroil. To dreams of God try to be true, And know (NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO) , God's arms (and mine) are holding you! Brian Johnston May 8, 2014
