When Death Comes

When death comes what would you do?
I  will  say  my  time  is not due,
Come back for I`m still in my prime,
Care for my kids I need more time.

When to give up , I have no clue
When death comes what would you do?
I would  go on my knees to  pray,
To leave loved ones is no child`s play.

Saying goodbye will cause much pain
though it`s been rough, but I`m still sane,
When death comes what would you do?
Just like two extremes ,pain and joy cannot glue.

I  appeal to you to go for my lovely foe,
though my  hatred for mankind is so low,
I still have a picture in my heart which I drew,
When death comes what would you do?

Oh what an emotional write - I try not to dwell on passing too much - got too much to live for at the moment. Hugs Jan xxx
