Death will take me…
But not Today
He will hide in shadows
with a final grin
HE will look over my shoulder
and breath His chill on my neck
Then growl in disgust
As I shut that drawer…
Close that cabinet…
Put the lid back on…
Death will take me
But not Tomorrow
He can bide His time if He wants
And hope that I will Fall
and not want to Rise again
But His shoes will get worn from pacing
And throat sore from cursing my name
And He will move on
And so will I
I will Love and Hope and Live
For I know that Death will someday take me
But I will make him wait
