DEATH
Death is something we try not to think about, but it’s there from the start.
From the time we first open our eyes, we are on that road to depart.
Some people live their lives and try to make a mark, and some just try to survive.
No matter what you do, you’ll never make it out alive.
Death is the great equalizer of men.
It doesn’t matter how rich you are, who you know, or where you’ve been.
When the angel of death knocks on your door,
You can’t hide, and you can’t ignore.
Some people believe that death is passing to a new life.
When you close your eyes for the last time, you just look for the light.
There are those who think that there is no journey to start.
When you close your eyes for the last time, there is nothing but dark.
The meaning of life is death.
It’s the only thing everyone will do from their first to their last breath.
Forget all the gray in between.
Forget about taxes, learning, loving, forget about everything.
You can’t take anything with you, and you don’t really leave anything behind.
The only thing that stays is the memories you leave in people’s minds.
But then, memories will fade away into the past.
In life, nothing lasts forever, and forever never lasts.
Death really is the final frontier.
No one knows what happens when moving from here to there.
It’s a mystery, and that’s a fact.
No one’s ever been all the way there and come all the way back.
I hope there’s someplace to go on this trip we all have to take.
I pray that there is another side, for our soul’s sake.
I’m sure that when it’s my time, it won’t make a mark.
I’m sure that when I close my eyes for the last time, all I will see is . . .
