When I was a child, I used to be so afraid of dieing and so afraid of death, <br />I was so afraid that I started crying, thinking about the day when I would <br />take my last breath <br />now that I am so much older and so much smarter and I know so much more, <br />I am not as afraid of death as I was before <br />so now I can say, I am no longer afraid of death like I used to be, <br />death is something that no longer frightens me <br />from what I understand, when you die, your spirit goes on living even <br />though your body is dead, <br />it's as if you're only sleeping while laying on your death bed<br /><br />Quentin Hardison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-longer-afraid-of-death/
