Death It Is the Final Word

Death it is the final word There is no coming back Death a word unspoken For folk don’t know just what to say Some will think there's nothing else Once we've gone we've gone Though I would rather hope for more But no one really knows for sure Death it is so final Death is it the end Or does our spirit soar once more When Death doth shut that final door I will pray and hope to see beside those pearly gates all those special souls I knew hands held out to lead me into Paradise to Shangri La I see your smiles It's where you are A brand new life With those I love ~~ Death it is a final word A word that I have heard Written 12th July 2021 Contest A BRIAN STRAND JULY 14 Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

Death so final. I wonder. Grieving I think is the hardest.

I think we all will be together again when the time comes for us to leave this world. A different phase of our being... Peaceful and trouble free with an acceptance of each other without judgement of differences etc... no more suffering... An equaliser... A touching poem. I am sure your husband and son know how much they are loved.
