Dear Death Be Kind
Would you be kind to him dear death
Can he peacefully take his last breath
Without all the drama that surrounds
Nor an after thought of what is bound?
For the life he live is cruel as it is
So taking it is an eternal bliss
They say life is fleeting, it is true
For one can die out of the blue.
When he's gone they'll remember
Make pretend it is sad when it's December
For he's deeply missed they will exclaim
Even all they ever know was his name.
The ones left will claim that care they built
To lessen the burden of carrying the guilt
They did nothing to reach out to him
Before lights were low and his eyes went dim.
So be kind dear death, lull him to sleep
Let his final thoughts be his to keep.
