Death Where Is Thy Sting

Oh Death! Where’s thy sting?
Your trails and woes you leave still ring!
Like a thief in the night you come
From the uttermost and bottomless pit of the earth
Even the graves complain!
The soil decomposts and is rotten
With those snatched by your clenched teeths
And your evil jaws;
have snatched us away from where we want to be
And no one knowest where thou goest or comest
Hitherto depart to whence thou hast come!
So we’ll be rid of the fears you create
These words of mine ate my heart bare when I lost my mom.Ggh
