"Time's Up!"

Some folks know when their time is up and some folks never do,

but when you're standing at death's door you won't need a key...

he will open it for you!

"The Warmth of the Sun"

by

Doug Donnan

You long for its radiant presence as you struggle through the chilly night,

the stars and moon grow intolerable as you long for its balmy white light.

The comfort of its golden cloak is a soothing sanctuary without compare,

its warming amber luminescence is indeed a priceless treasure in the air. 

Soon the radiant beams splay out from behind the distant mountain's lair,

you smile and stretch, then rise along with it. Its glow is soon everywhere.
