"Shall i compare thee to a summers day?" William Shakespeare.

The sweet roses blooming

The sun shines bright

But soon it goes away, all the beauty

Roses begin to wither

And the beauty runs away

The bitter sweet truth that will forever stay

Death will soon take us away

Will death wrap us in his arms?

Or will he leave us to walk astray?

What is the meaning of death?

Im afraid to say that no one knows

Will we ever know

The life death leads

To follow his curse

We all know

That soon he will take us away.
