I Intend To Show Up Late
(A death poem by Wain)
Dear Beloved,
When I’m told my end is near
Should I resist and put up a fight?
Should I hold on to hope?
Or go willingly into the n _ _ _ _?
What’s the point of me trying
To avoid my date with death?
What makes a life worth living?
Why fight ‘til my last b _ _ _ _ _?
Love.
God chose my time of birth
And gave my death a date
But I hope he will forgive me
‘Cause I intend to show up l _ _ _
Lots of love,
Wain
