Why is everyone
So afraid
Of death?
Is it the unknown?
Or is it the known?
We don’t know where we go
Upon our departure,
But we do know that which we must leave.
We know everything that we are leaving behind,
At least temporarily.
Friends,
Family,
Belongings,
Memories.
But where do we go?
That we do not know.
So why be afraid?
We know death is certain,
Why not be
Excited?
We will be leaving many things,
But what we find could be better.
Who knows?
I don’t know,
But,
Personally,
I am excited
To find out.
