In Death

Is death the ending or the beginning?

Is death the foe we should dread?

Are we trading one life for another?

Do we start again without errors?

Death comes to us all just once

And we pray for its suddenness

Death takes us at random

The deserving and the innocent alike.

We never pray for our death

We never look forward to its coming

But we live with the knowledge that one day we will die.

The death of your body awakens your soul

To the wonders of God

Our death is the end of a life here on earth

But it’s the birth of our forever.

Robert Morrison.
