Death waits in the shadows
it comes for us
from the first breath we take
patiently it hovers
in a million ways death collects
each of us
each of us meets him
Sometimes it is welcome
sometimes it is cruel
Often very unexpected
when life is at its best
death is humbling
and is the one thing we can neither
avoid or stop.
Out of the cruelty
out of the injustice of inaction
the actions of others
the mere fate unrecognized for what it is
rises those souls
who give their lives for others.
Aaron Feis
in a split second
showed his love and passion
for the lives of children.
May you rest peacefully
May your family and friends
find time to heal.
You are a true hero in a world
of chaos.
Thank you for being who you were.
