The Thing About Death...

Death is the universal common denominator-
We know we can't escape it, 
Yet we fight to stay young, healthy, active...
We ignore the signs in our aging loved ones.
They deny it too.
No matter how sick, old, tired, hurt or in pain-
I can't imagine anyone is really ever ready to leave this earth.
It's a great unknown.
For many, Faith helps ease the idea and transition,
Still, when faced with death up close and personal,
We fight what we aren't willing to admit-
Death is the worst part of life.
