I stared
death in the face today,
It wasn't my own, it was others,
The ones we cremated or laid in the ground,
The fathers and children and mothers.
I stared
death in the face today,
I found it quite peaceful, not scary,
As friends of the family would gather around,
To honour the ones we would bury.
I stared
death in the face today,
And thought of a time in the distance,
When I would join those who had gone on before,
And gain my eternal existence.
I stared
death in the face today,
It never did catch my attention,
I looked beyond death and could see only life,
In death, I could see no reflection.
I stared
death in the face today,
But saw only God's intervention,
He came here to welcome His precious ones home,
His love is beyond comprehension.
