Grim reaper(death)



Grim reaper(death)


The last days of my life I count but weeps.
As an ailing man my sadness heaps.
The verge of death I stroll it’s steeps.
Here comes the grim ,all souls he reaps.
Who saves my soul from deaths abyss deeps?
Even the brave hides and dares not to peep.
 Dear lord if I die take my soul for keeps.
Out of nowhere,my heart just had a beat,
The chills on my body
Instantly turned to heat.
The grim reaper is no where I guess he took a beat.
Dear lord thank you for handing the grim this sweet defeat.
Forever in your debt,
my soul shall stays at your feet.
