I'm just curious,
do you ever think of your death?
It's not often that I do,
I rarely ever think of my own death,
but it has crossed my mind.
A line in a song hit me the other day,
holdin her hand as the good lord called her up,
I thought of my death.
And I thought to myself,
I wonder who will hold my hand?
Will it be my husband?
Will it be one of my children?
Will it be a stranger?
Will someone even be there to hold my hand as I take my last breaths?
Regardless of whether or not I think of it,
it is going to happen.
One day,
I am going to die.
Just as we all will.
Just as other events in our lives are calendared,
our death will become just that.
A date.
A milestone.
Another event to pass through in this life.
And just as I sometimes think of what it will be like the day I bring a child into the world
or the day I get married to my husband,
I can't help but just wonder,
wonder what the event of death will be like?
I do hope that it's peaceful,
don't we all?
as i pass from this life to the next.
At least I know I'll be met by good company.
