Chapter 36: You've Come This Far!

You've Come This Far

There isn't really a right time to die

But in your sleep at a ripe old age

There is no need to fear death

Death comes to all, any race or creed

We need to live each day to the fullest

Pursuing our dreams with our families

Without family we wouldn't exist

Without each other, life's not a cinch

Without a lover there'd be no kissed

What would life be like without this joy?

A dark wasteland full of void 

We need to take action

In a good orderly fashion

To gain inspiring needed traction

Do not let your life slip away

Day in and day out in the grey

Light the flame within your heart

Do your part so life won't smart

I can't guarantee you that you won't feel down

But if you endure you'll receive your crown

Christ is sitting upon His throne

Preparing a mansion to call your own

Lift up your head and wipe your tears

You've fought this long for so many years

I can promise you one thing that you are loved

You're never alone just pick up the phone

The phone of prayer will be your guide

During the day or the middle of the night

An angel will come to help you in this fight

Angels come in many shapes and sizes

And rises to keep you safe

To help you enter the white pearly gates.
