I’m not afraid of death, you know- I count him as a friend. I know he’s waiting up ahead- I’m not sure where, or when. He’s taken my acquaintances- And all my family, too- Death is an appointment- For me, and likewise, you. Fear of the unknown, I guess- Is what most people dread… I’m not sure that it matters, After one is dead. But whether waits oblivion- Or some Almighty wrath- Death is still the porter, At the end of every path. So, come, old friend, I’m ready- Swing wide the waiting gate. For life has used me badly… I’m prepared to meet my fate. [This message has been edited by Gunslinger (11-28-2019 07:54 PM).] |

Please, my sweetheart, chase Death away for a couple or three of decades and stay with me in love and Life as bright as the sun and let our hearts beat again together as one. |
