Life is so uncertain, death is so unkind And it seems that understanding is so very hard to find. A hand has struck, a life is gone with no regret or shame,
Whether with intent or accidentally, the end result? Is still the same.
s One never gets use to life abrupt ending But there s one way to ease the pain,
Just put your full trust in Jesus And serve Him til He comes again.
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. "
- St. John 11 :25-26
