Poetry
Death and I, we are old friends,
I’ve known him since I was young,
He lives in the shadows along with our dreams,
He lives in the streets and the alleys.
His face is grim, he shows no smile,
Fore he carries the burdens of many,
His cloak is not dark, his eyes show sorrow,
from tears he has cried for many.
He carries no sword no sickle or knife,
He comes to bring us no pain,
Is pain he removes with the touch of his hand,
And brings his children to peace.
He often asks and I can tell him not,
Why everyone hates him so,
They think he’s a demon, a curse from hell,
To sow sorry, and heartache, and woe.
Do they not know, he’s a angel from heaven,
Sent to the sickly and low,
Who pray to their God when this life is too much,
And ask him to bring them home.
So when he does come to bring me back,
He’ll take my hand softly in his,
He’ll comfort me, fore all toil will be done,
And lead me to eternity‘s home.
