He's Dead and Gone

He's dead and gone In vain I look for comfort Despondent, walking along the beach The waves sweeping onto the pebbled shore The drifting shale The sands of time The mortal affliction of life and death Cruel fate has struck its final blow, He's dead and gone In vain I look for comfort.

We are left he feeling bereft. Alone. If he was a good Christian, he took hhis last breath...and met Jesus, then and there. I can't think of a thing ok earth I want to cling to over being with Christ. Be joyful for him!

I like your poem, in one way it highlights the fact that death is cold and matter of fact. It is part of the cycle of life.
