What is death?

Death, oh death, the great unknown,

A place where all our souls have flown.

A passage from this life to the next,

A moment we all must come to accept.

Some fear it, some welcome it with grace,

Some meet it in a quiet, peaceful space.

But no matter how it comes to be,

Death is a part of our reality.

It takes our loved ones, it takes our friends,

It brings an end to all their ends.

It's the final act of this mortal play,

A moment we all must face one day.

But in death, there's also a beauty to see,

The end of pain, the end of misery.

A peaceful rest, a final release,

A journey to a place of eternal peace.

So let us not fear this great unknown,

Let us live our lives and make them known.

Let us love with all our hearts and soul,

And leave behind a legacy that will never grow old.

For death may come, but it cannot take,

The memories we've made, the love we've baked.

So let us embrace this journey with grace,

And leave behind a world, filled with our trace.
