Death's Sweet Embrace

by heartless   Oct 19, 2008


You long for the sweet embrace of death
Its warm touch
Nothing getting better always getting worse
Dieing to make it through praying to get out
Never knowing what to except
Hoping every day that it is your last
Wanting it more and more
Not knowing why
Death visits everyone around you never taking you
You wander why and look up
You see everyone you love and have ever loved
Looking at you offering you a hand to help pull you up
You never take them thinking life is better where you are
Not knowing that it is better there with them.
Longing for death to come and take you from this place
Hoping never to see it again

    For some this poem may be attractive if they are suffering from depression and just want it to end. I was there for nearly 40 years. Now I am 56 and have an incurable illness that keeps me housebound and nearly catatonic except for rare good days like today. I am a Christian and long for an eternity spent with Jesus our Savoir. I look forward to death not because this life is so horrible (it is), but because my eternal life spent with Christ will be pure joy. Never again will there death or even a single tear.
