    Death of a Friend

    Life seems too tough for some

    Living from day to day on the job

    Working for seven days straight

    Just to get a good money pay

     

    You ask yourself if it’s worth all this

    Sure it is, "I like money", you say

    "You can work yourself to death", people say

    But you don’t care as long as you get that pay check

     

    You’re in and out of the hospital like clockwork

    All because of smoking and too much stress

    Stress can cause a lot of things to go wrong

    In your brain, heart, stomach, or kidneys

     

    Death is very hard to get by

    Because you’re never prepared for a

    Loved one to die

    When it happens, it seems as though

    No one can really understand your hidden tears

    Or truly see what you know, learned, and fear

     

    When they’re gone, you’ll see it ain’t no turning back

    When the doctors come out and say “I’m sorry

    But she’s not gonna make it through the night”

    Now you tell me how the hell you know

    She’s not gonna make it without a fight

     

    There’s only one thing that I hope and pray

    That she made everything right with her Maker

    Before she finally learns to fly

    absolutely wonderful, wow this is sad but true, life is a gift and we should treasure it more, but most of us wait until we are on death door and then we regret the things we have done. thanks for writing such a powerful poem, truly enjoyed reading this one too

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
