The Reaper

Beware the reaper,he's come to collect
he's been paid in full yet he still seeks this debt
I'll pay him in gold and end all this strife
but the reaper only takes the breath of life

Once again this poem is great, and all so true. You have encouraged me to put some of my spiritual poems on the soup.
