Hope
By Hotaru Tomoe
Long ago I met a girl who was waiting for death's embrace,
"Girl," said I. "How are thou not afraid?"
"Good miss," said she. "Death does not scare me."
"Why?" asked I.
"Death is to me just a friend who has waited patiently for me,"replied she. "Waited for me to come to him."
She sighed and smiled then accepted Death's embrace
Tranquility finally showed itself on her face.
