Death

I am told not to fear death
Should I look forward to it?
No - I should be prepared for it.
The funny thing about death is we all will die,
But nobody knows when, how or where.
Are you afraid of death?
Or do you just avoid death as much as you can?
Eternity think about the meaning of that word.
If in fact, there is life after death,
Nobody has came back and told anyone about it,
Every person knows its coming.
But, when, where how?
Don't live your life in fear,
But on the flip side - don't live your life like an idiot.
Life is to short and precious to waste
