To You Quite Scary

Physically you are not the person you once were and you know time is not on your side
And the thought of death to you quite scary but from it you have nowhere to hide
And though you fear the scythe of the life's reaper this is quite a natural fear
The bravest do not die without some fear though stories of their bravery we read of and of hear
Legend has it that Methuselah lived for more than nine centuries but eventually he too did die
But you make what you like of this story since legend it has been known for to lie
Us humands are born as mortals and death to all things of life does apply
On this respect no different to the animals or to the birds of the sky
You are one of many who fear death and on saying this you are saying what is true
The reaper of lives who claims all lives will one day come reaping for you
The one who does come uninvited who to anyone is never a friend
The one only cheated by suicide victims decides for you when life will end
I feel so happy for to be living and with joy do welcome every day
But my fate will be like all others when the reaper comes reaping my way.
