DEATH HAS NO NAME

My wish is to end the silence....
Sometimes when the silence seems endless....death draws nearer....I've heard it knocking so much since the day I was born....wondering when I will give in...and open that door....
God hasn't given up on me....and when I have, he's always there to shout out the reasons he gave me breath....and why he'll never turn me over to death.
As much as I am alone....my world is filled with God's voice....keeping me writing...and hoping that one day, I too will out there among the people that have a life....they sometimes give no thought to....
To be free for just a day.......I would paint the world.....
Never give up...and when death comes knocking....write him out of the picture....
Love and hugs

DEATH HAS NO NAME
Death has no name or conscience
It will take without regard
No money can keep death from your door
No lock can keep it tightly barred
Death has no name and can’t be seen
It takes without prejudice or pride
Death reminds us that life has its limits
And reminds us of the many reasons we cannot hide
Death has no rhyme; death has no reason
It doesn’t count and doesn’t care
Death takes away your life, your family, your freedom
Where will you be standing when death finally draws near
I've sat with death at his table
I changed the rules; I stopped being a victim
I made a bet, like any fool
That I had choices, and it was me who can pick them
I’ve faced my death; but, I’m here to stay
God and his comfort have scared death away
This house is blessed, and so am I
When I wake in the morning, I can wake with a smile…
