Death
For it takes the smile from the gayest face
It erased the color from the clothes worn
Death the competitor, life is the race
Pray it does not come knocking at your door
Salty rain falls, the dead goes underground
Other times, undertaker throws the match
For souls that are lost, peace can not be found
Salty rain falls, your loved one turns to ash
By the chapel, you see rows of flowers
The young rest under the tombstones quite small
Some of the tombstones as tall as towers
Nor how big or small, we mourn for them all
We pity Death for wanting so many friends
For a wasted dash, will be one’s true end…
