Death
As I stared at him lying there in his casket I thought of my dad.
A tear of unfulfilled dreams fell from my eye,
and like that in a snap,
Reality was just doing what it had to do.
It took another person from this great earth, a person who made this earth so great.
And as I stood there I imagined any second from that moment that person was suppose to wa
Only this time he would never wake up again. He was gone for good.
The wrinkle in his eye would stay the same forever.
His body appeared cold and fleshed.
It was scary as all those thoughts flowed through my head. Death a deep thought in my
mind. Death something we all must face, something we all must witness.
People dying as the others are crying, we look at our relatives, old and young alike.
And we realize one day they to must die, as those who already have.
But, death does’t at all scare me; in till I will be face to face with the real thing.
When my own life shall be on its edge. On its last minuets of life will I think of how
gracious things went for me?
As I knew what I would think, I wondered what the man beside me in the casket was
thinking before his true minuets of death.
I wonder how he felt or if he even had a chance to think.
But, I know through out his new life in heaven he’lm watch over us-every step every
move. Why God takes some of the greatest people in the world we shall never know.
However, we shall now have more faith and more spirit because he is watching over our
shoulder helping us do right from wrong.
The more I would stare at him and all the flowers around him I would think of how so
many people loved him.
He left for the better only for the good.
Although it is hard for some of us to understand that he will be in heaven,
a much grander place. To live with us in our hearts, in our souls, to help us in ways he
could’t when he was on earth. And he will always be with us, until our dying day, when
we shall reunite with him and be as one.
We may never see his face or hold his hand, have a nice gentle laugh with him, but he is
still in our memories where he can never die. He’lm be with us through our every problem
we face to our every fancy we wish for. Because it is Heave where he went and there all
of his dream can be fulfilled.
