A Friend To The End

There is no need to fear when the end is near.

Life comes, and it goes, It flies and it flows,

It trebles, and it tatters, it fetters and it spatters.

It's Quick as a shooting star, but It's not a race,

It's Bright as a shining star, but go at your pace.

You may have the might, but you'll NEVER win the fight.

He sees you in the night. He's with you in the light.

You won't have to wait for him,

as he patiently waits for you.

Before I looked around, I understood this place.

Now I'm in the ground, I see a different face.

Before I slept softly, cozily, I was in wonderland,

Now I'm dead awake, I wonder who I am.

Tik-Tox, Click-clock, Tic…

That's the sound of your life ticking away.

Drip Drop, Drip Dot

That's the sound of the pool filling non-stop.

Tip toc, Tip stop

That's the rhythm of your heart leading the way.

You can call me a quitter, call me a ghost.

I'll never give up, I'll be beside you the most.

Won't you be my friend, It will be very real,

it won't be pretended, let's make it a deal.

Instead of crossing on bridges, let's tear down some walls.

Instead of running on ridges, let's stand up so tall.

So Take your last meal, take your last step

Take your last Breath, Welcome in Death.

Like dust in the wind,

Just blow it all away
