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.

Thankyou Tom.It's inevitable but we pray it doesn't come for us early.

Fear of death envelopes all fears. Yet, we each must cross over, alone.

Indeed.But before it comes knocking,we ought to live life and enjoy what it has to offer.
