Life And Death Poem by Peter Madden

Death..

why do death we fear...
when it seems unjustly so...
for he welcomes us with open arms...
judging us not for our lives or our sins...



hes the fallen angel who ends all suffering...
he heals our wounds and takes away our pain...
removing fears that have tormented us so....
as he welcomes unto his enternal embrace...



so why do we fear him...
why do we cling to our painful lives...
where misery still holds dominion...
why do we fear the reapers kiss..
when he alone can set us free...



the answer is life...


for without life there is no death...
without a beginning there can be no end...
if we did not struggle between their worlds...
could we even know we were alive inside...
more than just these bodies of flesh and blood...



how could we enter his kingdom realm...
and partake of his grace and mercy...
if we had not experianced life..
in all its different forms...
and would death welcome us so...
if we had not fought to live...
