John Castro Poet Rhyme

Deaducation

Death is painful for those who do not understand
but death is not a punishment , simply part of a plan.

Death is merely the transferring of a soul
To a new place from a place of old

Salvation is the thought that the soul can retain
as it passes from the physical to the spiritual plain.

To the physical being, death is kind of hard to swallow,
because where the spirit goes the body cannot follow.

Death should not be a time of mourning, but a time of celebration.
For the spirit of a man has completed a kind of graduation.

As a student of life pursues his doctorate degree,  
death is the final test as he passes the state of sleep.

Once the body passes through the threshold of the physical and spiritual barriers.
The consciousness becomes pure light, as the spirit uses energy as the carrier.

The realm in which the spirit resides, we simply do not know.
because where the spirit travels, the body cannot go.

So if someone in your family dies.
Understand the path they take....
Just because their eyes are closed,
doesn't mean they aren't awake!

Andrea Dietrich June 17, 2012 at 11:39 AM yes, yes, I SO believe this; When our stepdad suffered so long from dementia, we actually were happy when he could go. And you understand that very well. I hope if I get that dreaded disease, I can go very very quickly!! John Castro June 17, 2012 at 11:48 AM yes true but i dont think going quickly gives your love ones enough time to cherish the last days and moments they have with you :( so in a sense that is also the downside of that
