I thought that I would share this poem with you today.

Death is Only a Part of Life

The Resurrection

We enter this world from “The Great Unknown”

And God gives each Spirit a form of its own

And endows this form with a heart and a soul

To spur man on to his ultimate goal …

For all men are born to return as they came

And birth and death are in essence the same

And man is but born to die and arise

For beyond this world in beauty there lies

The purpose of death which is but to gain

Life everlasting in God’s great domain …

And no one need make this journey alone

For God has promised to take care of His own.
