Write a poem where death is personified in some way.
O’ Death, You Came for me
you came before and lifted me quietly,
I felt the pull
I saw my self flying straight up high
it was so swift,the flight
a few seconds and I looked down
oh where are you taking me?

oh where are you taking me?
my children are so young
and my parents are in later age
they need me too
and my parents are in later age
they need me too
see they are alone,
And O Death you were so kind
You let me go’
You had permission to do that
and I heard you say something’ ?
You had permission to do that
and I heard you say something’ ?
Now if I have been good
have looked after my parents
and have guided my children
on the straight path
I hope and pray that
my way, will be illumined
each day of life ,scented
colorful like daisies.
O Death you will be gentle.

I appreciated the way you began and ended this poem (your title to your last line) and the notion of how we live our lives, informing our death.
Thank you friend
