Death

Death comes without warning,
Death comes when you are unaware,
Death comes not a minute early nor late,
Death comes taking away the ones you care.

When Angel of Death knocks on your door,
And know that you won't be with us anymore,
Know that it is time for you to go,
And we pray that God blesses your soul. 

Wealth are now departed from you,
Only your faith you would carry,
To reward all that has long been dued,
whether paradise or hell you would be.
