DIZAIN CONTEST

When the death messenger came to retrieve
My wife and loved one of twenty plus years
I thought it would cause me to  mourn and grieve
Instead of breaking down and shedding tears
And my life being filled with many fears
Instead, I only felt joy and great peace
An unusual joy that would increase
Not the typical joy that one may feel
Joy and great peace that would just never cease
She is in the arms of Jesus for real
