A Light Yet Shines For Me
-" Because I could not stop for death"-
-"He kindly stopped for me"-
He came while I was fast asleep
and took me suddenly
My soul then took its ethereal flight
As it traveled towards the light
And when the Pearly Gates were in sight
Then I knew everything would be alright
So they bid farewell to my mortal shell
And tears were shed for me
I heard church bells but all was well
As I slipped into eternity
For: the Homage contest
From Emily Dickinson's poem: "Because I could not stop for death"
