Cast all our fears upon us, <br />as we lie here so afraid. <br />what will happen to us, <br />what harm shall come to this day? <br /> <br />We wonder if death can be sleep, <br />when life is but a dream, <br />how could this have passed us by? <br />And yet we think the greatest pain's to die. <br /> <br />We say we fear death <br />as if it brings eternal pain, <br />though we wonder about it so much, <br />and so much we can not say. <br /> <br />Can you tell me now what you mean when you say you are afraid? <br />I thought you were strong? <br />You said you'd learn to deal with the pain. <br /> <br />I say yes, we are more then our present selves, <br />and that there is a further state to come, <br />that we are not such stuff <br />as dreams are made of. <br /> <br />We wonder if death can be sleep, <br />when life is but a dream, <br />how could this have passed us by, <br />and yet we think the greatest pain's to die....<br /><br />Sherri Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/immortality-29/
