Me and Death

by Fahd A AlSaleh   May 6, 2008


I was only eight years old
When I first saw death
The thought of it makes me shiver
And loose my breath

I've seen it all
The accidents, the disease,
The pain, the suffering
And the common heart cease

I've seen it all
And I'm only 20 years of age
I've seen it all
Each time it builds up my rage

I want it to stop
To see it no more
Erase it from my mind
Forget it ever existed before

No man can live forever
Death is an inevitable end
So I ask god
Give me the means to extend

To extend their lives
And rid them from their pain
To see their loved ones
And new memories to gain

To hear the "thank you"
From their voices
To be able to continue
And make the right choices

I want to stop death
With all my might
I know I can't
But I'll put up a good fight

* This poem explains why I want to become a doctor *

    Its good that u wnna be a doctor..but doctors cannot stop death..nor can you only God can..n da reason why doctors suceed in helping person not to die do is coz GOD PLANNED IT...so doctors only follow what God permits n what He doesnt permits..doesnt live...Good poem by the way..really good...

    Good poem bro
    it explains alot since you want to be a doctor

    but me and you know that death can't be controlled. only God can
    you just have to do what you can and leave the rest to God
