The poem below was written about my mother the day after she passed away. the title tells the whole story.With any futher delay my poem titled ; YOU

 

                                                 YOU

                 You were our mother,whose love was uncompared

                You were our teacher whose knowledge was always shared

                You were our father because he was never there

                You taught us to be men and showed us how to care

                You stood behind us when trouble followed us home

                You were our preacher you taught us to be strong

                So how do we continue now that you are gone

                We will come together as a family as we say our last farewell

               We will keep faith in your teachings because you raised

               You were everything to us mere words could never do

              We love you for everything you did but mostly for being YOU

                                       Death

                I can come in and out of your life as i please

               I amm worse than any sickness,illness or disease

               I have a begenning but to me there is no end

               I am your worse nightmare we can never be friends

               I have stood the test of time and i will never grow old

               I am personified by fear, I am arogant and bold

               I know no age ,I come for all

              I have no season, winter spring or fall

              No one likes to see me comming and can't wait for me to go

              I have claimed many lives the graveyard is my place of show

             My job is never over and will never be done

             I can strike in the dead of night or at the rising of the sun

            I have consumed the poor and have made the rich humble

            I have walked with kings and made volcanoes rumble

           From me no one will ever escape my grasp

           To take your last breath for you is my only task

                 Behold me for i am Death
