The Long Sleep
Will glory be there,
for me to go
when life is done
and over here
will my sleep be deep
will my dreams be long
within its eternal embrace
will lovers spurned
haunt me still
for broken promises made
be it that or be it not
the time is near
when I must say goodnight
to this life’s light.
for me to go
when life is done
and over here
will my sleep be deep
will my dreams be long
within its eternal embrace
will lovers spurned
haunt me still
for broken promises made
be it that or be it not
the time is near
when I must say goodnight
to this life’s light.

....YES...the broken promises...
sometimes in the worst part of life
is knowing it will not go on forever...

O yes Kitty: when death stares at us in the face, our past flashes by, or so I heard.

ashes to ashes
is when Eternity flashes
dust to dust
is really the start for us
because when this Earthly Life is gone
we will reach the place where we truly belong
so rejoice!
