When Death Comes

Inspired by a death in my family

When Death Comes

 

When Death comes and darkens your sight,

When life fades away and you see the other side.

Others will cry,

Others will mourn,

While you are finally at peace,

When you are finally done.

Out of sight and in the ground,

Out of time to say farewell.

 

 

When Death comes to take you away,

Will you leave or will you stay?

Do you know what you’ll see,

The light of heaven or the black of the void?

When Death comes for you will you be ready?

When the end is here and Death is near will you run or will you stay?

Will you fight or will you give in?

Will you know what you’ll do?

Life’s greatest question is what to do

When Death comes to take you too.

Some go quietly while some go screaming.

 

 

Some don’t believe there is anything after

While some believe there is.

Were you loved when you were here?

Will your loved ones find peace with you gone,

Or will they be dead for the rest of their life?

And when the time comes for them to join you,

Will you meet them with waiting arms?

 

 

You won’t know where and you don’t know when,

You even won’t know how or why.

But when Death comes and darkens your sight,

When life fades away and you see the light,

Will you be ready or will you fight?
