Analysis of Death



Is death so bad or is it a relief,
Is it the beginning or is it the end,
Is it the fear that we may descend,
Should it be in God we lay our belief?
When a close one dies our time seems so brief,
Sometimes we have to trust and depend,
Sometimes we have to take our time and spend
It mourning, but death is not the greatest grief.
When you think about it death is not so bad,
When death wrestles life, death is done,
If in God we trust, we need not fear,
Because life takes over death we should be glad,
Because we expect life to carry on,
Life is the champion, but death is still near.
