The fear of death and the unknown

It lurks within us, never gone.

The fear of death and the unknown,

It lurks within us, never gone.

It whispers in our ear at night,

Making us tremble with fright.

We wonder what lies beyond the veil,

Will we go to heaven or to hell?

Will our loved ones be there waiting,

Or will we be alone, forever debating?

The fear of death and the unknown,

It can bring us to our knees, alone.

But we must find the courage within,

To face the unknown and not give in.

For death is a natural part of life,

A journey we all must take, rife

With unknowns and mysteries,

But it is something we cannot flee.

So let us embrace the fear,

And find the strength to persevere.

For death may come for us one day,

But until then, let's live in a way

That fills our hearts with joy and love,

Embracing the unknown, high above.

For death may be the end of our time,

But the love and memories we leave behind,

Will live on forever, in hearts and minds,

Easing the fear of death and the unknown, one kind

Word, one comforting touch at a time,

Until we are all reunited in the great design
