Death

If only you understood 
Why I get short
Why I choose God over anything 
Why I do not understand how you can not believe in him...
God saved me many times from death,
Some days I'd get home an stare death in the face.
And some days I dared death to come all while I prayed to God to stop death...

Death spat in my face
Cursed me
An tried to take me,
With God I stood firm and death fears me...
Without God I wouldn't be here,
So of course I follow God,
Why wouldn't I?
He saved me because he loves me
He saved me because he has something BIG planned for me
I owe it all to him and all to him I give.

Such a beautiful written poem, I really enjoyed reading it and your last line was truly amazing, " I owe it all to Him and all to Him I give ", but you see that death is inevitable and it s God s angel who takes life, so even when we die, it s because God has written a specific time for us, nothing more, nothing less, we all shall finish the time we have in this world, then came the judgement
