Ya thats right this guy...



Is now 24 years of age... Im to Young to be this old...

Lets hope this new stage in my life keeps turning for the best... I would hate for it to give up now...

But i have a poem, i would like to share...

I read it some time ago and i found it a few days ago... it was something that has always been in my head... and will be till i end...

Its been a life changing read...

To Death....

Come not in terrors clas, to claim
  An unreasisting prey:
Come like an evining shadow, death!
  So stealthily, so Silently!
And shut mine eyes, and steal my breath;
  Then willingly - oh! willingly,
    With thee i'll go away.

What need to clutch with iron grasp
  What gentlest touch may take?
What need, with aspects dark, to scare,
  So awfully, so terribly,
The weary soul would hardly care,
  Called quietly, called tenderly,
     From thy dread power to break?

'Tis not as when thou markest out
  The young, the blest, the gay,
The loved, the loving - they who dream
  So happily, so hopefully;
Then harsh thy kindest call may seem,
  And skrinkingly, reluctantly,
    The Summoned may obey.

But i have drunk enough of life -
  The cup assigned to me
Dashed with a little sweet at best,
  So scantily, so scantily -
To know full well that all the rest,
  More bitterly, more bitterly,
    Drugged to the last will be.

And i may live to pain some heart
  That kindly cares for me -
To pain, but not to bless. O Death!
  Come quietly - come lovingly,
And shut mine eyes, and steal my breath;
  Then willingly - oh willingly,
    With thee I'll go away

So now im done this is my last day as a young man, im getting to the Quarter part of my life where every thing turns around and gets better...

Cheers
