Wish -

DEATH HAS NO NAME

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…
