The Reaper and the Way

Watching on the sidelines as friend's family is taken away. What thoughts go through ones head?

I stand and I watch in sadness and shame

As I watch someone go away

The sadness that beckons

And the shame that wont go away

As someone that has joy

Shutters out on their way

And leaves ones to sadden days

With no joy

And only pain

I see my friend

And her family

Weeping and praying for his time to run

That the reaper will go

And leave him for the other days

But as I stand and I watch

As his life’s striped away

I see that the reaper

Will claim him today

That he will not live

To see another day

I gaze at my friend

And her sadden stare

Hoping for her and giving her hope

That another day

Shall come and rise

As he pasts away

I gaze and I move

Right by her side

And said with my voice

“He shall go on,

To a better place,

And I shall stand here

And lead you on your way

To hope and to joy

To the life which you hold.”
