a part of you
into your soul it burrows deep
into your mind when you're asleep
into your thoughts for you to keep
it will become a part of you
and when the evening settles still
and Time is but a whippoorwill
then suddenly you'll feel the chill
it will become a part of you
try, you may, to end your plight
to swallow it with just one bite
it gurgles in your stomach tight
it will become a part of you
though you've prayed the fervent prayer
to juggle Life into the air
leaving no one, not one in despair
it will become a part of you
in youth, we can not see The End
in middle age, we will pretend
and, at the closing, we will defend
that Death, became a part of you
