Before The End Poem by Deborah Cromer

Before The End

Rating: 5.0


I have just found out that I may die
I cannot help but cry
Tears of fear, tears of pain
My life over, with nothing to gain
Leaving life and leaving you
Feelings I never knew
I will not die unjust
The Lord I can trust
I have lived my life so free
I guess this was meant to be
I am scared and lonely
If only
I could see you once more
Before I pass through death's door
My dream would come true
I Love You

Dear Deborah. Very moving poem, very universal subject, as we all must go through death's door, as you put it. Strange to be lonely going where everyone goes, but truly we all go alone. I believe death is a dreamless sleep, from which we do not awake. An un-knowing, never ending end to the individual concerned. This comforts me, old atheist that I am, and I would that it comfort you. I have accompanied many to death as a hospice nurse, and peace without worry or pain is the best gift of all.

Since all have to die There is no need 2 cry To brood over n look back The whole life through a crack Pick up memories n things To meet the challanges The next birth brings

I often ponder upon death in truth because I try to fathom why we learn so much during life for it all to be wiped out by oblivion....I'm not religious. Of course I wont know till I get there. Sometimes it is good to put down how we feel about this subject which with lots of folk is a little taboo. An interesting and thought provoking verse. Thankyou Ruth
