When death beckons

There's a box on a shelf

all wooden in structure

As you walk by try to notice

Theres a lady in silver

as the dew settles calmly

the light trickles

through the crack in the door

the alarm sounds

please dont wake her while she sleeps

She doesn't have much time

sometimes you cannot see

what is truly in your eyes

So sit back my dear

dont count your days

love your grace for what its worth
never allow your heart to stray
She's trying so hard to stay

Crying as the morning nears
