Deaths dance

I’ve often danced a dance with death He’s often beat me out of breath. With every step his grip took hold But he got angry as I was bold I scream in pain my body rife And yet I pray for my kids and wife Behold my wish to see them here My family and relatives as I hold dear I’m dancing faster now with death I’m fighting hard with every breath He tangoes faster and twirls me round I look confused no one around My head is spinning, He sees me weak His final steps he wants to sneak His tango now no more a dance I see his stance and cast a glance He is dancing dangerously close Will he deliver the final dose A sudden smile forms round my lips A sparkle shines right through my eyes I see my saviour no disguise My saviour has now joined the dance he takes me in his tender arms we dance now at a slower pace The peaceful rhythm shows on my face My heart beats softly and more steady No longer racing I am ready. Grant me peace and set me free Deliver me, upon deaths tree.
