Death is a dark and looming fate,

A specter that we cannot escape.

It waits for us at every turn,

In every breath that we must earn.

It steals our loved ones in the night,

And fills our hearts with endless fright.

We fear it more than we can say,

For it will come for us one day.

We run from it, but cannot hide,

It follows us with silent stride.

It takes us when our time has come,

And leaves behind an empty home.

No matter how we try to fight,

Death will come, and we will take flight.

So let us live each day with care,

And cherish all the love we share.

For when our time on Earth is done,

We'll join the ones we've loved and gone.

We'll rest in peace and finally see,

That death is just a part of eternity
