Death

Come after completion of my

chores,

Come when I completely overcome

my earthly fears.

Knock not my door, whilst swaying in happiness,

Anxiety will embrace me and leave

me speechless.

Take me in your loving arms like a

mother,

Where I will enjoy the supreme

pleasure,

O Death! Come lay your soft hands

on me,

But only when prepared, this is my earnest plea.
