The Fourth Horseman by M.A.Meddings
Friends and Family of the late Phyllis Irene Meddings
Visitors to this house of remembrance
I welcome you with open arms
And ask you to reach for him to remember my mother
She once told me of a day her father found the lord
But needed a leg up and told her of a dream he had
And lost in the valley of the shadow within his dream
At length after many days searching
He met a man with a scythe
Who wore a dark habit, a hooded cloak
The man spoke to him of fear
Then fire and brimstone
And asked 'How camest thou to such as this'?
His reply
'I was a proud and boastful fellow'
And at his utterance there came a great light from the east
Then he saw his way out of the dolmen
Into which he had wandered
Her father then asked of the darkly robed fellow
'What sir is thy name'?
And the stranger replied
'I am called of the name The grim reaper
And behold the pale horse there
He is mine
For ofttimes I am called death
And the Fourth Horseman Of The Apocalypse
Go thy way and seek ye the truth that is found in the light'
