Death

Death, the eternal sleep, the final rest The great unknown that none can best It comes to all, both young and old The stories it tells, are forever told It is the end of all things great and small A time when life fades and the curtain falls It takes the mighty and the meek The strong and weak, the poor and sleek It is the end of laughter, and the end of tears It takes away the joy, and all our fears It comes unbidden, and often in surprise And leaves behind, a world of sighs Yet in its embrace, there is a certain peace An end to all the struggles, an end to the disease It takes away the pain, and all the sorrow And leads us to a brighter tomorrow For in death, there is a certain hope A new beginning, a brand new scope The end of one journey, and the start of another A chance to discover, a chance to uncover It is the final destination, the end of the road The place where we let go of our heavy load It is the end of the cycle, the end of the race The place where we find our resting place So let us not fear, the great unknown For in death, we find a place to call our own A place of peace, and eternal rest A place where we can be our very best
