Thompson Emate Poet Rhyme

Death

Death is a guest that comes to all,
Then like a withered leaf, we fall, 
It comes with its carriage,
To halt us on the passage.

Death summons the soul,
It’s its duty and role,
The soul goes on an eternal sojourn,
Within the walls of a celestial region.

Death doesn’t consider status, 
It brings to anyone its apparatus,
Weighed in the balance,
It’s uncertain if we’ll be given a second chance,

How can we accept death with equanimity of mind,
When our loved ones we can no longer find,
Taken away from us,
We live with this irreparable loss.
