will not hang today...
I will not swing this sad way.

I will not shoot too close at heart....
Of this day i shan't of earth depart.

I shall not die this day...
I shall live on to pay my way.

Should not hope to end this day...
Best shortly before death will i be pleased to God to lastly pray.

A great poem inspires others to write and sway.

Michael Gale
