Follow the grim reaper,
take his hand.
He will show you the way,
the way to the underworld.

Don't fear him,
for he will come to take you.
You do not have to be alone,
in your darkest day.

Take his hand,
let him lead the way.
Find comfort in his presents,
nothing will harm you.

Death has come over you,
embrace the darkness.
Don't fear death,
for it will come to you too!

Makes me wonder where the phrase, "grim reaper" came from. Off to find out, nice write.

thanks...hmm that is a good question.

"From Kay:

Where was the term Grim Reaper first used or where did it originate?

This expression, and its brothers Reaper, Old Reaper and Great Reaper, come from the practice ofThe Grim Reaper. Click to follow the link. portraying Death as wielding a scythe. Surprisingly, the earliest reference provided by the Oxford English Dictionary comes from Longfellow in 1839: "There is a Reaper whose name is Death, and, with his sickle keen..." Grim reaper doesn't show up until 1977, though the term grim death has been around since Shakespeare's time (he used it in The Taming of the Shrew). Death was portrayed as bearing a scythe because there was a tradition of representing Death and/or Time as a scythe; that dates back to the 14th century. The notion was one of Death personified mowing down people with his great scythe. The earliest reference to the scythe comes from Thomas Usk’s The Testament of Love in about 1378: "Sithen al the grettest clerkes..with their sharpe sythes of conning al mowen and mad therof grete rekes and noble."
