No One Lives Forever

Listen to poem:
My cloak as been removed, my invincibility laid bare. My life clock is in overdrive is this my time to breath my last fresh air. Let heaven wait an angel and hell a stokers mate. My plan is to rest in peace and hope not to many weep. My eyes will miss the sunsets, my heart its beating in my breast. My cloak as been removed, my invincibility laid bare. My mortal time is ending my heart will soon beat it last. and I'm off to rest in peace or may haunt those that laughed. let heaven wait an angel and hell a stokers mate. You think you will live forever and then sneak an extra day. but in reality any day could be the day that you're last breath go's away My cloak as been removed,my invincibility laid bare. You're born without a penny and tears within you're eyes. and leave behind you're fortune and them tears in others eyes. Let heaven wait an angel and hell a stokers mate. Let life's trials have it's say, and then turn the other cheek. Live your life with love and passion and treasure every day. My cloak as been removed, my invincibility laid bare Let heaven wait an angel and hell a stokers mate.
