9 Lives Too Little

So be it,
that I have almost been killed,
nine times already.

My life is meaningless,
without adventure,
and venture.

To be almost killed nine times already,
means a great deal to me.
For God has let me live,
to let me relive,
all the journeys I had.

This may be my last,
to be able to feel the grass.
But from this day,
my name will live on and display,
my courage for trying to live past my nine lives.

My last words to you are,
"I hope you'll be able to live,
past your nine lives."
