What is it about Death
Many say a thin vale separates us living from the dead
Others say it is a transformation into something else
Many of us rely on Faith, a promise since the beginning of mankind
What is it about Death
Many go quickly like a flash of light
No goodbye no chance to close their chapter
Others linger , suffer so , to much pain and fear
Filled with remorse, or angry at the prospect of not being here longer
What is it about Death
Each gasp for air, each Herculean effort to make the heart pump
Whom effort is it,the dying or the force that put the dying here
Some say they want to go, others want to fight for every second
They struggle so till the end, Challenged or not we are unaware
What is it about Death
I know no wise answers to answer the young
Many of well educated people have their theory based on the past
Others feel a spiritual calling, an intuition
Some have no use on the subject at all till it their turn
What is it about Death
Many live their lives for a chance of a better life after death
Other live like this is it , and go for the gusto
Most I feel stumble day to day with the prospect that it will soon come knocking
It will grab us all and do what it will , without our consent
What is it about Death
When a Child or a younger person dies it seems more intense
Is it that we morn what could have been ,and that jars our emotion so
When the Elderly pass, it intensity is subdued, reflection of the pass
A life well spent , or not but with length full of opportunity
What is it about Death
I do not know what I will do when it calls on me
Will I be brave, and noble
Or will I be bitter and self-absorbed
Will my anguish be of what I am leaving behind , or or what lies ahead
Will my faith sustain me , or will I abandon it as I have so many times before
What is it About Death
Perhaps I seen death to many times, I don’t know
I am thankful I seen more of life
I do fear Death, it is unknown , unexplored
To claim an immunity to it’s domain is foolish
What is it about Death
