Knocking at my door <br /> <br />Death came knocking at my door <br />HE SAID: my life would be no more. <br />He was coming to take me away <br />To a place where I would stay. <br />I would be there for all eternity <br />And that my soul was finally free. <br />It would be a happier place <br />Where I would see a friendly face. <br />I SAID: are you not the “ grim reaper’? <br />HE SAID: oh no! I was your guardian angel <br />Here on earth, and your guardian <br />Till you reach that final sleep. <br />And when you open your eyes again <br />You will be with family and friends. <br />I will help you to earn your wings <br />For in heaven, that’s the normal thing. <br />Not every death is with the reaper <br />A lot of this is so much deeper <br />You have been watched from your birth <br />And we know just what you’re worth. <br />You have helped so many in your life <br />With your thoughts and deeds <br /> and with that you did exceed. <br />You will continue to help in death <br /> as you did in life. <br />This is the final sacrifice<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-came-knocking-at-my-door/
