A Pledge To Humanity Poem by S.W. Clark

That there is a death
is enough to make any poor soul
grasp at any belief that might
seemingly give them a handle to help them be taken into
a peaceful eternity.
And who am I to judge the fearful
when there are things yet to be comprehended.
As the judge I fall short to judge myself
yet alone to condemn another.
But since I have overcome some fearful events which have
over taken me,
then may I learn to comfort and assist
those who may travel down that same path
I have already gone
and have survived.
Not considering their weaknesses but my strength.
Taking them across; to the other side of the river of conflicts,
and not back again to the places where they have failed.
