Special Friend 5/14/2025

Death sits with me
Death walks with me
Death is my friend
That silently waits
By my side.

Often misunderstand
Often feared
But never outwardly
Offends people
Because its goal
Is for you to
Open your
Spiritual eyes.

Death wants you
To live life fully
To embrace
All opportunities
At hand.

It doesn’t want
You
To live in a rut
But to make the
Most of what
You got.

So open your heart
Embrace and hug
This special friend
It’s assisting you
To prioritize
What’s important
Within the chaos
Of Life.
