    Death

    If you were going to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?

    (shiver) ...I don't think there is anything to tell anyone that I have not told them...but knowing I was going there are several things I would have wanted to re-state...like telling my wife and daughter how much I love them and how much I would want them to carry on proudly and to continue to be good people after I was gone. ...(shiver)....

    tell my mother how much I loved her and would miss her....she died when I was 14...44 yrs ago. It's one of the main regrets of my life.

    Where I hid the loot from the robberies......... .
    I would guess that most people would regret not having told some loved one how much they were loved. I have always tried to tell my loved ones how much I love them, but I've probably fallen short in that privilege.

    Don't spend it all in one place (my life insurance)

    Seriously, I would makes sure I told all of my loved ones how much I loved them. I am sometimes too much of a diciplinarian (military/law enforcement background), and I fell that my daughter thinks she disappoints me, so I would want to make sure that she knew how proud she has made me. This made me think, I brag to averybody else about her accomplishments, but often times forget to tell her.

    Not telling John Allen face to face what a criminal he is

    Seriously, I'd probably regret being at work tonight instead of home.

    Nothing.

    I talk a lot.

    O, Death
    O, Death
    Won't you spare me over til another year
    Well what is this that I can't see
    With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
    Well I am death, none can excel
    I'll open the door to heaven or hell
    Whoa, death someone would pray
    Could you wait to call me another day
    The children prayed, the preacher preached
    Time and mercy is out of your reach
    I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
    I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
    I'll close your eyes so you can't see
    This very air, come and go with me
    I'm death I come to take the soul
    Leave the body and leave it cold
    To draw up the flesh off of the frame
    Dirt and worm both have a claim
    O, Death
    O, Death
    Won't you spare me over til another year
    My mother came to my bed
    Placed a cold towel upon my head
    My head is warm my feet are cold
    Death is a-movin upon my soul
    Oh, death how you're treatin' me
    You've close my eyes so I can't see
    Well you're hurtin' my body
    You make me cold
    You run my life right outta my soul
    Oh death please consider my age
    Please don't take me at this stage
    My wealth is all at your command
    If you will move your icy hand
    Oh the young, the rich or poor
    Hunger like me you know
    No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
    Nothing satisfies me but your soul
    O, death
    O, death
    Wont you spare me over til another year
    Wont you spare me over til another year
    Wont you spare me over til another year
