Death

Death, the eternal sleep, the final rest

The great unknown that none can best

It comes to all, both young and old

The stories it tells, are forever told

It is the end of all things great and small

A time when life fades and the curtain falls

It takes the mighty and the meek

The strong and weak, the poor and sleek

It is the end of laughter, and the end of tears

It takes away the joy, and all our fears

It comes unbidden, and often in surprise

And leaves behind, a world of sighs

Yet in its embrace, there is a certain peace

An end to all the struggles, an end to the disease

It takes away the pain, and all the sorrow

And leads us to a brighter tomorrow

For in death, there is a certain hope

A new beginning, a brand new scope

The end of one journey, and the start of another

A chance to discover, a chance to uncover

It is the final destination, the end of the road

The place where we let go of our heavy load

It is the end of the cycle, the end of the race

The place where we find our resting place

So let us not fear, the great unknown

For in death, we find a place to call our own

A place of peace, and eternal rest

A place where we can be our very best
