Towards Deaths Door and Back

I hope this letter, to you, a stranger Becomes a letter to a friend As we travel on this journey to its end Yes we’ll start off as mere strangers Trying to share the selfsame track And what matter, if you stray a little For I'll just lift you up and bring you back I will steady you if you stumble Catch you if you fall Hold your hand when you get weary Guide and protect you through it all Oh I pray you learn to love life with a passion With a zest and inner smiles For that in truth, is the secret fuel That will drive you countless miles If loving life is too hard right now If deep worry spreads across your brow And your health is not as good at it might be Well don’t fret my new - found friend Just stay with me until the end And that youthfulness will bloom again you’ll see Together we will tackle any fear Banish doubts when they are near Grow a smile when one is lacking For you have always got my backing I’ll help you always go the extra mile Help you scale mountaintops in style Then I sincerely promise you will find Life will love you back in kind In more ways than you would ever guess Adding life to years and years to life no less For your circumstances always follow thought And a life worth living is never cheaply bought I’ll keep you on the straight and narrow If you will but let me take the lead As if we stick together on the journey We cannot fail but to succeed And no longer will we be strangers But partners till the end Now that’s a heart felt promise to a friend
