Death Brings Me To My Son

I am not afraid of you I used to be But not anymore You aren’t my friend Nor my enemy either Inevitability on a journey all must tend So now you are my companion Something to cling to You draw me near But never too close Maybe you are not ready For a path this long and hard Some people run from you I simply wait for you You might not be welcomed But, neither will you be shunned For you are no longer a stranger And I will not leave you behind So do not be afraid of me Your embrace will not be the end But an exhilarating new beginning On that day I will call you friend For the gift you give me Will be the embrace of another
