POEM
Death is just another step along lifes changing way, No more than just a gateway To a new and better day,
And parting from our loved ones is much easier to bear When we know that they are waiting For us to join them "There"
For it is on the Wings of Death That the living soul takes flight Into the "Promised Land of God" Where there shall be "No Night"
So death is just a natural thing, Like the closing of a door, As we start upon a journey
To a new and distant shore
And none need make this journey undirected or alone, For God promised us safe passage To this vast and great unknown
So let your grief be softened and yield not to despair, You have only placed your loved one In the loving Fathers care, ....Helen Steiner Rice
