O Death, My dear

Run, O soul, the day is near,

The tasks are many, still to clear,

But when you come, O death, my dear,

Will take your kiss and have no fear.

Born we are, a speck in this sphere,

Life gets meaning with loved ones here,

And when you come, O death, my dear,

Will hold their hand and walk the pier.

Behold, this life, is a boat to steer,

The journey is what makes it worth to gear,

And when you come, O death, my dear,

Won't stop to row till my last breath here.

Yes, the pain, is sometimes hard to bear,

Destination is foggy and the path unclear,

But won't lose to you, O death, my dear,

The wait might be long but I am here to persevere.

When a word of praise makes your doubts disappear,

The faith in yourself is restored all together,

Life is pure, O death, my dear,

But so are you, told me one seer.

The dreams we live for years together,

Its scent will trigger emotions forever,

And when you come, O death, my dear,

My body would be your only souvenir.

To lose my existence, and forever disappear,

Yes I am scared, O death, my dear,

But when you come, with all your fanfare,

Will close my eyes and follow you to your lair..
