A Poem of Death by Botkem Shahak
Death has no farewell
He decides that today it is your turn
And he takes you.
And you will watch over your family from above.
You no longer suffer,
You no longer feel that he who was left behind,
He suffers and does not believe
Only yesterday we sang and danced.

Death is a part of life, but I don't like it. It is our destiny, which will be met. It will make you think life's journey may be predestined. You have the right to try to control your fate and destiny.

There are certain high points in one's life that create memories never to be forgotten. These are events that are good, bad, terrifying, and some incomprehensive, which are a part of fate. It is our destiny to life out these events, and from life, we learn experiences that will make a difference in how our future is shaped and how we live. Some events are a detriment, leaving scars that are indelibly burned into our memories and are recalled with fear and terror and often nightmares.

One of the best events can be a happy gathering of friends/family and loved ones and sharing with them our feelings on how we appreciated life, trying to override the negative and events that have saddened our lives, especially with the loss of someone dear, who was a pillar of our life.

The goal is to live life to the fullest and help others in need all you can on your pathway through life and try to attain the greatest amount of happiness and quality of life.

Death knows no bounds,
It is the fate for all.
It makes all equal in the end,
It is a democratic process.

, whether it is being on death row in San Quentin prison with the walk down the hall to the gas chamber or dying of an illness. The experience of dying has to be considered unique. In many ways, it can be considered similar to a cardiac or cancer patient facing death from disease, who also walks that last mile in life.
