A Life To Live
May death not come knocking on my door
I still have a life to live
Got dreams that i want to see come true
My heart is yet to taste the bitter-sweet of love
May death not come knocking on my door
There are several destinations i still have to get to
Ocean beaches i'm yet to vacation at
A luxurious house i have to build
May death not come knocking on my door
A legacy i get to make
Fulfill a purpose and give meaning to my existence
Enjoy life and experience happiness
May death not come knocking on my door
I've got to marry a woman of my dreams
Make a family,have kids
Share the priceless moments of joy together as we watch them grow
May death not come knocking on my door
I'm yet to watch the sunset while sitted on my backyard patio
With a drink on my right hand as i watch my grandchildren play on the neatly trimmed verdant lawn
May death not come knocking on my door
Lying next to me is my geriatric soulmate with wrinkled aged skin as i
Even as my heart shrinks thin i still see her as the damsel i fell in love with
Despite my sight fading as the distant sun sinking at the horizon
She's still the sunshine i see in this appearing dark and foggy night.
May death.....
This world was good indeed.
