Ordinary Death

Yes, death is quite a common thing.
In fact, everyone will die.
Yet, it comes as such a great shock.
We can’t grasp it when it happens.

All experience painful loss.
Yes, death is quite a common thing.
It shakes us to our very core.
We wonder how we can go on.

If we could just see it as good.
If we could admit to ourselves,
“Yes, death is quite a common thing;”
It may become less horrendous.

A graduation, homecoming,
Reward, ending to suffering.
We could be at peace, smile and say,
“Yes, death is quite a common thing.”
