Come By the Sword--Die By the Sword
three score and ten
eighty , ninety when
all too soon incised
souls inescapably fly
away
time when life ends
purpose transcends
an appointment met
life’s book read with
candor
death comes to all
times last curtain call
with two destinations
we select our options
freely
death- the great equalizer to heaven or hell
“And it is appointed for men to die once—but after this the judgement”
Hebrews 9:27
