death came in the night

death came in the night
it took all it could
none of my things were gone!
the deal was
just me you see
I got up as usual
then I noticed
nothing had changed
I thought about that
and wondered
this was right
I died where
I wanted to be
peaceful and happy
life is a slippery slide
be careful
what is important is
how you make others feel in life
maybe because
it is how they will feel
about you when you die
better watch out
better not pout
better not shout
I'm telling you why
deaths whispers
finish the breeze
and he is
coming to town
