Tamyra: The Promise

By Tamyra Barrow, Grade 8

When we placed on this earth we were only promised one thing and that’s to die,
so when people pass away why do we ask why?

Things may feel different or maybe its just me,
when you think of the past it brings back memories.

But take a minute and think of this
you or your loved one may be on God’s list.

The book that you might try and steal or borrow,
because god never promised any of us tomorrow.

So long, farewell, you might even say goodbye,
because when we were placed on this earth we were only promised one thing and that’s to D.I.E.
