will not hang today... <br />I will not swing this sad way. <br /> <br />I will not shoot too close at heart.... <br />Of this day i shan't of earth depart. <br /> <br />I shall not die this day... <br />I shall live on to pay my way. <br /> <br />Should not hope to end this day... <br />Best shortly before death will i be pleased to God to lastly pray. <br /> <br />A great poem inspires others to write and sway.<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-will-not-hang-today/
