Take ? old nana
take is such a violent word.
Does he take that which he gives
or does he return it
to himself.
From whence it came
so it belongs.
If that time is short
it was ordained not sorrowed.
Do not weep
lifes gift is a smile
not sadness.
Author notes
"every night I pray to god to take me in my sleep, for it is unfair for me to live so long while he takes the lives of those younger then me..."
