I know it as I know my own name
It is inevitable,
truly destined to befall me.
It lies in wait
this very second,
waiting for the moment,
The Moment
It draws nearer
and nearer.
It waits for its Time
I know that Time is near
I can feel Death's icy presence
following my soul.

Sometimes it comforts me,
as a friend would.
It is a daily reminder,
a memo,
that I will be with Him soon,
that I will soon join my loved ones
who have passed into the Next Life before me.

At other times, it is my greatest fear,
my notorious foe,
stalkng me with its vile curse.
What if I am not worthy of Him?
What if my destiny is locked
in a horrific, atrocious place?
Such thoughts haunt me
every time I feel the eerie presence.

Death is close.
I could feel its icy breath,
infecting my soul.
But, what have I done
to prepare for this destined moment?

Death can be
either a friend
or a foe.

The choice is
yours to make.
Your final destination
is at stake.

Do not delay,
do not make the mistake
that you will regret
for all eternity.
