The Last Ride

by Denny E Marshall


Let us ride the universe forever
Long before arriving at heavens gate
Let the lords of good and evil play with fate
While the grand gatekeeper holds the lever

Worldly ties will completely sever
With keys of time, no voids to hesitate
Journey across space a believer
Long before arriving at heavens gate

When the final day comes to deliver
Pointed upon the calendars last date.
Let the mighty lords know we will be late
The last breathe a message to receiver
Let us ride the universe forever.
