a poem in my pocket

I.

embrace death

it is everyone’s end

accept the coldness

into your spirit well

before it strikes you

down, go down to it

II.

choose life

to live every day

accept what it gives

with an open spirit

don’t let life slip away

step up, live up to it

 

 

“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”  –Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV
