Death and Mortality

The final journey we all must take

Through the gates of death, we'll make our way

Leaving behind all that we've known

To face the great unknown

The journey is one we can't escape

No matter how much we might debate

For death comes for us all, one day

And takes us on our final way

We'll leave behind the ones we love

The ones who've shared our joys and sorrows

And journey to a place beyond

Where life is but a distant song

Yet even in the face of death

We can find hope, and take a breath

For though our bodies may decay

Our spirits will live on, in some way

Perhaps we'll live on in the memories

Of those we've loved, and those who've loved us

Or maybe in the stories we've told

That will live on, as we grow old

And though we may fear the great unknown

The journey to a place we've never known

We can take solace in the fact

That death is not an end, but a final act

A curtain call on life's great stage

A chance to turn the final page

And journey to a place beyond

Where life and death are intertwined

So let us not fear the final journey

But embrace it with grace and dignity

For though it may be filled with sorrow

It's a journey we'll all take, tomorrow.
