When I think of death,

and of late the idea has come

with alarming frequency,

I seem at peace with the idea

that a day will dawn

when I will no longer be

among those living in this 

valley of strange humors.

**

I can accept the idea of my own

demise, but I am unable to

accept the death of anyone else.

I find it impossible to let go a

friend or relative into the

country of no return.

Disbelief becomes my close companion

and anger follows in it's wake.

**

I answer the heroic question 'Death where is

thy sting?'' with "It is here in my

heart and mind and memories.'

~Maya Angelou
