A Perspective On Death
It’s a moment of sadness with a steady stream of silence,
bereaved family takes part in welcoming the mourners;
they pay respects to the one they value so much,
their presence is a gift with deep meaning to articulate.
With that gesture of sympathy that goes out to the family,
it’s consoling, gratifying, and profound in thought
filled with spirituality that shows what relationship is;
in an unspoken way strengthens the soul about prayer.
Like a running marathon, endurance is the name
to face the difficulty in coping with separation;
it matters much about the passing of someone
that death confirms the elements of change.
While the proverb says, ‘every bullet has its billet,’
leaves a space for someone to reflect on it;
it’s in God’s hands, his will to put the timetable
faith-wise, this is what we are before God in his kingdom.
