The Healing Process: a series of poems

An Old Friend Some Fear

There's a funny little thing

That happens to everyone;

Some might fear it

While others greet it as an old friend;

In some minds it's thought as the end;

Ending everything that is known to mankind;

While others see it as a light;

It's a new opportunity to grow and explore beyond our measures

People mourn and scream

Thinking about how tragic it is

But the one in the casket will only know

If they were greeting it or fearing it
