Poetic-Verses
'' To Give You Inspiration ''
Would you like to know where and when you'll die?
How do you think you would cope?
Or does the very concept make you want to cry,
Knowing for your future there's no hope.
Do you think it's best, is ignorance bliss?
What would you do if given that choice?
Or is it a knowledge you'd prefer to dismiss?
It's not something you'd wish to rejoice.
Millions are given this terrible news,
When an incurable illness is diagnosed,
In their future they've forfeited their right to choose,
As their book of life is about to be closed.
I've seen it first hand with those I've held dear,
Yet their courage and dignity held strong,
I saw and shared their feelings of fear,
Yet they carried on as if nothing was wrong.
They arranged their funerals without a second thought,
Ensured they tied up all those loose ends,
Never showing that inside they were fraught,
When I think of them my broken heart mends.
Their fight with adversity never once did it show,
More concerned about how others would feel,
They'd joke is it Heaven or Hell down below,
Their worries they did always conceal.
If you knew death would be visiting soon,
How do you think you'd react?
From bitterness and self pity would you be immune,
They were which helped keep us intact.
Now they have passed their memories live on,
Their conviction deserves our admiration,
To all those who know the conclusions foregone,
I write these words,
