Once upon a midnight clear,
I lost someone I held so dear.
It was her time, she had to go,
A part of life i've come to know.
The thought of it gives me a chill,
as fear unfolds I take a pill.
It helps to calm my needless fears
before I panic and shed more tears.
When I'm around a dying one
my way of thinking is not fun.
My thoughts get crazy and I say strange things,
this is what my fear of death brings.
Why do I fear of something such?
which brings about an angel's touch.
it is but a peaceful rest
that takes one from earth life's hard test.
