Wait for Me

When you ran out ahead,
I called out “Wait for me!”
You merely turned around and laughed,
And ran right on ahead.
I tried to stop you,
But listen you would not.
You ran right on ahead,
Into to Death’s wide open arms.
You struggled for a little while,
But he held fast and then,
You went away with him,
Leaving me behind.
But what would have happened if,
You had listened when I said,
“Wait for me!”
