Death.
Everyday we hear of it.
On the news,magazines, and from the people we love.
Sometimes we are unfortunate enough to have to witness it.
People I loved and held dear to my heart.
Gone.
Taken away from me because of death's icy grasp.
A lot of others,too, have felt the pain.
We knew that one day they would have to go.
But why now?
It's too early.
We can't be left yet.
Those special people it seems have abandoned us.
Because of their deaths,
We are faced with the horrible knowleadge,
That no one is safe.
We are all at the mercy of God and fate.
I have seen death,
As many others have.
I have witnessed it.
I have held a suffering soul,
I saw the pain that it was in.
The anguish that kept it here on Earth.
And in one instant,
Death swooped down and ended its suffering.
It no longer had to be bound to its sickly body.
It was free.
Free to run,free to jump, free to go beyond it's earthly limitations.
One day, we will be able to see all of them again.
All of our relatives,loved ones,friends,pets,
That have left this life for a better one.
Until then, we must be strong.
Of course their will be times,
Of sadness and melancholy,
Anger and rage,
When it seems our life is spiriling downward.
But after times of trial and tribulation,
Will come happiness and joy.
For we will remember all the good times.
That we were able to spend with them.
And although they are gone now,
We can treasure those memories,
And use them to get through this painful time that we must spend,
Without them....
