Memento Mori

A poem about death.

Death is something that I cannot escape,
So whenever my time comes,
I accept my fate.

I’ll carry to the afterlife my heart and soul,
But I accept the inevitable,
And what I cannot control.

So I will live in the moment, one day at a time,
And each day I’ll show gratitude,
For this life I call mine.

I am not scared, since my life is a story,
So I’ll live by these words,
Memento Mori.
