Like a Thief Causing Me Grief
Death has entered into my life like a thief
Unexpectedly, it has caused a lot of grief.
It has taken several lives of my friends away.
I miss them very much each day.
Death has also claimed lives of my family.
Those are the ones that were closest to me.
How sad it was to see all of them go.
There are fewer friends and family left to know.
I realize it's getting closer to the day
when I myself will be taken away.
Whenever it comes, I will never know.
However, I say I'm not afraid to go.
