There was an accident just down the road.
There was a death not too long ago.
There will be crying, mourning and so forth.
A woman died in that accident day.
Did she know that it would have been her final day?
Did she praise her lord for giving her breath?
Did she praise her maker from sun rise to sun set?
Did she know that death was near?
Did she feel the presence of the angel of death near?
If she did, did she even fear?
No one knows when the end is near.

that can always be a great question to ask ... death. good subject. just make me think deeper into it.
Thank you for entering. -
I liked it very much.
Although at this point I felt like you were repeating yourself...
"Did she know that death was near?
Did she feel the presence of the angel of death near?"
In here you could of put
"Did she know that death was near?
Maybe the presence of an angel made her fear?"
But otherwise I felt it was good, and you accomplished the message of death that you were trying to..
