“Death”
by: Eric L. Boddie
the moment of your conception was the beginning of your end
that’s where you first met Death, and he promised he would see you again
because in the lives of us all, he always comes twice
one is when He gives, the other is when He takes life
because there is no way he could do it without His permission
the act of taking life is only His decision
so passionately grab your life, and love it as much as you can
strive to live as nothing else than a God-fearing man
because the fear of only God increases the power of self
because a man may be the one who brings him, but only God can send Death
because He, more than you, loves the life you possess
let Him guide you, make you strong, so your life can lose stress
for all we have is life, and, enjoy it, we should
because he always comes sooner than we thought he would
because no one is ready, and that also includes me
since Death has a face that the best eye can’t see
sure we see him as a stranger, but he is the only friend we need
because only when he comes can the soul truly be freed
and each night we pray to Him, but we ask him for the favor
that if he comes tonight, he’ll deliver us to the Savior
and that’s where we all want to be, there is no better place to think of
because with Him, we’ll feel nothing but the very essence of true love
