Sleepless Nights

O Death do come to me For I can no longer live in fear Like a woman in love waiting I am left shedding my tears For if Death do come to me Do not come at my face like a buzzard on a branch, it waits waiting for death to take my place O Death do come to me during a nice peaceful sleep for I have everlong feared being at the realm of my makers feet What shall he do, What shall he say Will he turn his head and then send me away or will he grin with a smile then say "Welcome home my child" This question is too much to take O death do come to me for in heaven, I have a place My maker and I face to face asking forgiveness for all my mistakes O death do come to me I cannot keep my head in place whenever I sleep and dream Dream of this beautiful place O death do come to me for this I cannot wait To be with him in the kingdom of heaven watching my makers make

Cody, Excellent write my friend. She says she loves you. Stick around a while and love her. Believe me, If you both work on it you don't have to die to find heaven. I've been living there for more than forty years with my bride. I'm old and quite ill now. But being with her makes every day a blessing still. God Bless and may you and Courtney find the joy you deserve. Always, Will
