Don't Fear The Reaper

by CJ Maleney   Jun 28, 2017


Do not fear the reaper
But be advised he comes
He does not care how you passed on
And his task won't go undone

Do not fear his stroke
For You will not feel that blade
Your time is gone and over
Now It's time to take your place

He does not care where you belong
Above or down below
He simply has a thread to cut
To ensure continuity of flow.

When you meet him you may recoil
When you see his bony face
But depending on your belief
He may just look like an old mate

When he comes to visit you
Don't try to gain another day
You're dead and he has a tie to cut
That will help you on your way

      I think some do but not all. I don't Fear The unknown in fact there are things I'll bobble along not knowing the answere to quite happily. When the time comes I'll find out then, or I won't.

      Regards
