i've known Death
i've felt it's breath
i've seendyin'
in the eyes

i've felt Death
it's sweet breath
of nothinness

i've heard DEaths lies
heard Death's 'good-byes"
nice try's
those lies

i've seen Death
face ta' face
seen when there twernt'
a trace

a' bein alive

but i survived

facin' Death
face ta' face

seein' livin'
or dyin'
in my eyes

i've seen goodbye
and death
in your eyes
in Life's last breath

i've seen Death

Death doesn't have to be the end. Sometimes it's the beginning. I've always believed there is life after death and death is but a door. Of course, when one of our loved ones go through that door leaving us here, the feelings of loss and grief can be so magnificent.
