Every author has those moments when they get a great idea or thought for a piece of writing, and they think, "Oh gosh, I hope I find a piece of paper before I forget!" Well, this poem is what eventually came from one of those moments. I feel death is not something to be afriad of. 80% of all Americans now choose to die in a hospital bed, trying to cling onto life for as long as possible through the use of machines. They quiver at the thought of taking their last breath. I disagree. Death is something natural, a friend to willingly go with us with when our time has come.
