O' Death, why have you taken everything I loved,
O' Death, why do you keep taking my friends.
O' Death, why do you always stand at my side,
O' Death, why don't you release me when angels are calling me to heaven,
O' Death, why do you always leave me behind.
O' Death, can't you take me away from this accursed place,
O' Death, you don't hold any fear for me,
O' Death, you have seemed to be stalking me all life,
O' Death, I have grown so old yet you still spare me,
O' Death, can't you take me to the land of eternal peace.
Eternal questions which inevitably will be answered. Good form in the two stanzas, the first accusing the second a resignation to the inevitable.
Life and death! Born today and, to die tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
We all have questions in our lives and it always seems to be when the good and the young die first, it does make you wonder and ask the question...Why? ? ? ? small word that means so much. Annette
While you write poetry you still have something to help you carry on. By the way, I have your thoughts on and off.
I Can certainly feel your pain in these words. With the suffering for some in life you have to wonder. Yet we must try and live each day as positive as we can. For life itself and nature are incredibly beautiful.

Dont ask anything to death, as it just a touch of time that laying fate to someone journey...Yes, it took them away from us but we also dead if we failed to live the loved ones from our mind.
