I looked inside but what did I see,
The life before of Sam McGee
Looking at me was the face of a smiling Cheshire cat,
That danced among the flames of life.
His volcanic body was flowing free like a river,
The hands that once controlled the wheels of life were no more,
His arms appeared as wings of angles and
His feet were floating along a path of no return.
Then I saw this radiant golden gate open and Sam McGee stepped inside.
A band of angels gathered around and said to Sam McGee you are heaven-bound.
Sam McGee said to me, I release you of your promise.
But could it be that Sam McGee was dancing in my head?
I let out a growl as the anger inside me rose.
I paced the floor like a caged leopard.
My head was pounding with every beat of my heart.
Inside my head I said, Sam McGee are you dead?
I know I made a promise to not leave you in the cold.
As the flames grew, higher and higher,
And Sam McGee slowly faded out of sight,
I then knew Sam McGee had taken flight.
