Half life

George Chow 1976 (台灣)

Free verse
aye, wake up.
knowing He is mure all.
dreams of places,
dead ends of life.
this windows hope.
wake up.
its only half life,
you live..
for another half.
I do fear of bearing words.
If He chooses.
I am half life spare my peace,
of enough the God.
praise His beloved Son Jesus.
there is nothing more.
how i wake up.
