Poem
As I sit on this dreary rainy day My thoughts go into the darkness Inside a valley where no man knows Or on the right side of a cliff for on the wrong side we drop to the unknown When we are younger death seemed unreal It was something for older folks not young Then comes the first time we lose someone We begin to realize that there is no coming back Once you are gone you are gone for good You have stepped over that cliff Never to be seen or heard from again. As you grow and get old, life seems shorter We know that we all must die, sometime We all hope it is later and not sooner But when death comes we have leave Nothing is taken with us , all is left behind We have faith to guide us into the next world But, we also have that fear of the unknown We have that fear if we have been good enough For the life we have just lived We worry about the loved ones we leave behind We pray we have walked the right path As we grew, some religions talk about heaven and hell Heaven as a beautiful place in all cases But, hell as a burning inferno in some cases Others, steps we take that we have to learn to make it into heaven. Whatever the case may be ,we all still wonder What it will be like In some cases, others think that once you die That is it, you are bones in the ground Nothing more. We are never prepared when death comes to our door When he knocks we are gone. I truly hope I see the light and not the darkness My gloomy thoughts on this rainy day.
