THE GRIM REAPER
(A call to salvation)
He walks with silent footsteps,
Yet everyone hears him coming.
His shadows stretches across kingdoms,
Harvesting both the faithful and faithless.

He carries no hatred.
Only the orders of time.
His blade is cold,
A crescent moon eager to fall.

He knocks on every door –
Palace gates and broken shacks alike.
No crown intimidate him,
No tears delay his visit.

For the Grim Reaper knows one truth:
Every soul must rise and follow.
From dust to breath, from breath to silence,
And from silence to judgment's throne.

But hear this warning:
Live right while breath still warms your chest.
Repent while mercy still calls your name.
For a day will come –
When the clock will refuse to tick for you.

Your secrets will stand beside you.
Your works will speak without your permission.
The Creator will demand your account.
And the Reaper will remain as witness.

Yet – do not tremble like those without hope.
For death is only a door,
And Christ holds the key.
His light blinds the Reaper.
His grace chains the grave.

So walk wisely.
Love deeply.
Serve faithfully.
And when the Reaper arrives,
He will simply bow and step aside –
As Heaven welcomes you home.
