Death is a solemn oath to life.
Saying I’ve lived all I needed to,
I have been here long enough,
My time on Earth is due.

Though it may cause grief,
We have to except it.
Even though it may be beyond belief,
Where we go we cannot see-

In Heaven where they stay,
To live for all eternity.
Waiting for us to come that way,
In peace and all tranquility.

Death is an oath to life,
Saying I’ve lived all I needed to.
I have been here long enough,
My time on Earth is due.

The author's comments:
After my Uncle Pat died last year, I was very depressed then a family friend passed away and I decided that I had to bring myself back to the way I used to be, so I deceded to write this to make death seem less depressing and less of a burden.
