Poem Artwork

If I don't see another leaf fall,
If I don't see my grandchildren grow tall.
If tonight God takes me home,
At least I'll know, I've not been alone.

I've had an angel walking beside me,
Through times of sorrow, in times of glee.

She has been there all the time, you see,
Only wanting me to be,
Free of these Earthly bonds,
Finally to set my spirit free.

In times of doubt she comforted me,
Then she kicked the shit out of me.
Hoping to get my attention....She did.


Walt

That one was a twisted one, all formal and poetic, a down to earth words from a wise man telling us something....
