Go gently into that night
With inner strength
Across that divide
Into that peaceful sleep
Knowing this one thing,
It is well with my soul.
Why fight with rage
This journey's end
And struggle in the night
Shouting, screaming
Making waves.
Plead not for tears
But for mercy
Beg forgiveness
Surrender at that Cross
For there you may enter,
Gently, into that Light.

Nice thought, though these days it's, have you anything to declare before you come in.
May that light always be with you Eugene.
