Goodnight Ebaneezer

From deep in sleep,
He jolts awake,
His heart beats fast,
As frail bones shake,

His life was done,
his time was near,
He lay in bed,
Instilled with fear,

Time would see,
And time would tell,
Time had broken,
His brittle shell,

His eyes shut tight,
With failing health,
The cold dark shade,
of Death itself,

Within his mind,
It's crystal clear,
His life was done,
His time was here.
