On Death And Love Poem by Chris Embrick

What man now in his prime
Shall live on and not see death
Has anyone ever cheated time
And never taken his last breath
There's a pale horse we all must ride
When added days have been denied
Though love be as strong as death
At last all lovers must be left.

What man can look and see the wind
And just by thinking not grow old
Can life turn over, start again
Can man pay ransom for his soul
There is no cure for age in nature
Compared to time life's but a vapor
When memories are all we have to keep
Love lives on for those who sleep.
