The Walk

As we walk alone in the Dark
Hopeing to find the faintest of sparks
Walking together hand in hand
Alone with death our only friend
He directs us and guides
Each step of the way
Know all along where to find the way
People come and go from our life
Death is our only true ally
Always honest because he knows
Whether or not today is the end
He teaches his lessons till
The day we recieve his rose
And we take our last walk with him
