i have seen the Face of Death. i have heard Death's sad scream. i have felt Death's cold breath.
Death knocked upon my door. Death softly said "Forever more... Forever more...". and down Death's dark path i was led. in Death's dark face, with hollow eyes, a vision i can not erase, i stood to confront my "why's". Death rode upon a carriage black drawn by seven black horses. Death said " There's no going back. Stand and know your remorses.' 'Stand and hear your lies. See all your sins. Say your goodbyes." Death said " Now Eternity begins." All things come and go. All things Begin and all things End. We all reap what we sow. and so, in Death's Eternity eternity we spend. i have seen the Face of Death. i have felt Death's cold breath. Time can not erase the memory of Death's dark face.��

I believe Mari grabbed the silver lining on this one. After facing death myself, I don't fear it any longer. Nothing equals the peace of death in beauty.

Yes and Steve I saw death's face so many times too but then I said to it. Hey Death don't knock on my door cause I don't live here anymore.

They say facing one's fears removes the fear... perhaps after facing down Death, he'll be the first to blink.
