"Loving to be and hating to lose"


Poem Artwork

Life Instead

Death speaks to a beast and that beast knows
There can be no argument and goes
Quietly into the shadows when
Called accepting its time has come then

Such pure inevitability
As is not given to you and me

Death speaks to one of us and a fight
Ensues and pursues death through the night
Instead of giving our breath away
Being rolled over then playing dead
Breathe then the harder and vow to stay
And fight all night chasing death away
Of to be or not to be to choose
Loving to be and hating to lose

Death speaks? We hear: but choose life instead

I choose life but I also chose to accept Gods will. The scripture tells me it is appointed once for every man to die. Not to worry! This is a doorway to eternal life for those who believe in the Lord and follow his ways. Death has no hold unless we give it our permission.
God Bless,
Lew
