Requiem

Requiem
Death I welcome you here again here again my old friend.
Young at first now an old man your glowing red eyes and bony limbs no longer scare me I welcome them to hold me and comfort me so take me bony spirit and guide me gently into that good night. 
Ferry my soul ferryman across the dark river to my place of everlasting rest and eternal slumber.
