Death...
Friend?
Or foe?

To those that it is a friend...
They have lived their time.
Have seen everything they want to see.
Have done every thing they want to do.

They are tired
They welcome the idea of eternal rest.
They just want to be recognized
For what they have done

To those that it is a foe.
They have not lived their time
They have seen only a portion that they want to see
And only a portion of what they want to do.

They have just woken up
And are ready to go
The thought of eternal rest
Is the Last thing on their minds.
And therefore have little to be remembered by.

So take your stand, your side of Death.
Welcome and embrace it,
Or deny and ignore it.
But after your time
Your view will change.

So pick wisely
For yet,
Death will claim us all
No matter what your view,
Death will come.

Welcome to Passions and I have mailed your request to Ron (the site owner) to try and fix it.

You are right - there are now THREE things in my life that are certain, death, taxes, and incrasingly hot weather!

Carpe' Diem,
Mysteria
