Judgement Day

Son, please don't be afraid, he said, as life slipped away

I've lived the good life, and fought the good fight, but now I must go

Son, I have no regrets, I've loved, and danced with the best

And we'll meet again, in a much better place, I promise you this

Son, follow your heart, where ever it leads, and be a good man

It's done, don't be concerned to live and to love, the touch of a hand

Please, promise me this you'll have a kind soul, you must understand

Throw your judgment aside and open your mind, and never look back

Son, now don't go astray, he said, as he closed his eyes

I watched his last breath, and the beat of his heart, stop later that night
