Wait for Death
December 6, 2009
When it all comes down to it, the
days the passing goes real quick.
The moments fast - the hours slow
Weeks string together'n before it we know
A month or so has flown away
a year or two has passed us by
Gone afar, it won't return
the present our only time--remain.
Yet every instant steals it away
n'every minute comes to its end
Lead us forever, to depths of death
Treading along with all things Gone.

Those of you who are disturbed need to calm down. Those of you who aren't may understand. But all of us need to accept the truth and need to accept death.
And so, for all of you who are feeling so low you really and truly do want to die, there are two things to give light--some bit of hope for you in the now:
1. Tomarrow might not come. Today may be your last day. This may be your last pain.
2. There may be a better day in the might-be tomarrow. A second chance. Every day brings hope.
