A nice, short poem that many people have enjoyed reading.
As the moon shone on down in the mid of the night
an old man fell asleep in the gleam of it's light.
When he dreamed, he heard angels; they spoke like a poem,
they said "Sir, we have come here to take you back home."

The old man, he awoke and jumped up suddenly.
"I must live life before this will happen to me!"
As the clouds hid the sun and the skies were all gray
the old man was outside and enjoying his day.

When the moon came back up, the old man went to bed,
but he did not awake; someone found him there dead.
People say "he lived his life happy, full and broad.
"Now he's living more joyous in heaven with God!"
