The Grim Reaper Poem by Dave Alan Walker

The Grim Reaper

Rating: 5.0


Dark skies are falling
the reaper is calling
he sees the tears that are forming

He hears your cries from afar
he'll be by your side before morning
he wants to comfort you
before people start to mourn you
then he'll take your soul
and leave the shell of you

He's just like you and me
he's got a job to do
so live your life
before he takes it from you

Don't think I'll go to sleep tonight Dave in case the GR calls! ! Very good and very true, we should live our lives to the full while we are still here.

A great write, with good advice, we should all get the best out of life before the reaper gets us.
