In all likelihood

Your death will not be dramatic

but neither will it be polite

it may rap gently at the door

tap rhythmically at the window

there will not be time to gather your belongings

or to make last minute arrangements

in all likelihood

it will be like the flicking of a switch

the turning off of a light

just a thing that is

a thing that must be

it is the natural order

and the fear that you feel for death

is quite unncecessary

the true focus should be

on the good you do

and the love you spread and leave behind

for that is where the energy

and emotion happens and is needed

the only thing that will make your exit

have meaning and affect

in all likelihood
