Introductions aren't necessary,
Hi's are pointless.
There's no need to switch addresses or phone numbers.
It's meaningless really.
You wouldn't come over if you knew me
If you knew who I really was you would never call to say hi
So, Proper introductions really are a waste of time.
In time you will know me
For at least once in your life you will question my authority and my decisions.
Yes, more than once you might hate me
And honestly, I can't do anything about that.
But only once in your life will you see me
I will meet you properly there
And we will take a walk to heaven together
For that is my job
You see I am Death.
That scary word no one says
That is me
And no matter what you say or try to do
I will once hold your soul in my arms and have complete control of your destiny
Nothing will change this.
You see this happens once to everyone
EVERYONE!
The only difference between you and the last one won't be skin color
And it won't be back-round or race
It will be your color.
Everyone has a color
Brown, black, blue, pink
Any color you can think of really.
But, it doesn't matter the shirt color you were wearing that day or your hair color
It's your heart
Some people have hearts that are black and cold
While others have warm hearts of pink or yellow.
You see, when everyone lives their life the choices that they make give them a shade
A more pinkish yellow
Or a more bluish black.
But when you cross that line between a beating heart and a still one
The colors blend and make your final color that will rest on my shoulder for you.
That is when we have our proper introduction
I will meet you and learn all about your life
all because of one color.
And with your soul in my arms and your color on my shoulder I will gently carry you away.

Interesting concept of death and you are right, death knows no boundaries. It comes to take everyone in time. Nice to know (if one believes the bible) that in time death will be done away with ... even now, we can have joy in believing that in time, all those in the memorial tombs (grave) will be resurrected. Thank you for entering I know Rae and Christian will appreciate it
