Suddenly, Death!!!

Death knocks just once upon your midnight door

and then, before you know it, you're no more!

That master of your fate just waves his hand

And off you go to never-never land.



Let no one doubt its swift and sudden sting.

It strikes you as a very final thing.

The time of day means nothing when it comes

And chooses not 'tween high-born, rich or bums.



But fear thee not death's first and frightening sting

For death is not the end to everything

Death is just a window or a door

That opens up the way to so much more.

It ain't what's over there that makes a body anxious... it's the getting there...
