A KNOCK AT THE DOOR
One morning as the clock struck four
Thinking back over all my years
"Angel of Death, please go away
"Open the door!" the Angel said
"It isn't fear that gives me pause
"Yes my child, you have done your best

There came a knock upon the door
Awaking, "Who is there" was my cry
"The Angel of Death" came the reply
I was filled with dread and fears
Had I done everything I could
To live life the way I should?
I am not ready to die today
Please, O Death, just let me live
There's so much more I have to give"
"Let me in, get up from your bed!"
The angel knocked again and again
"Do not be afraid, just let me in."
Am I through working for God's cause?
Have I done all that I can
To do my part in His plan?"
Now it is time to take your rest"
As I rushed to let him in
I awoke; just a dream it had been
Greeneyed Angel
