Life Rages On

The sun dances above the clouds                                                                                   Though the sunsets with no regrets                                                                               Death comes but light is my shroud                                                   *Be wise my son good night for now                                                                             Joy in the morning light does not forget                                                                          The sun dances above the clouds                                                *Good or bad both in the end do bow                                                                Though sadness fills your eyes so wet                                                                               Death comes but light is my shroud                                         *Rejoice at my goodbye it is only for now                                                         Reunions are sweet it is like we never left                                                                        The sun dances above the cloud                                              *Though my eyes dim and a voice not so loud                                                  Whispers of love do pass through the dark net                                                                   Death comes but light is my shroud                                                   *We will meet again among the crowd’s                                                                   When morning has come after the sunset                                                                          The sun dances above the clouds                                                                                     Death comes but light is my shroud

John Beam March 21, 2014 at 5:27 AM Thank you very much Tiaua. Dylan was seeking comfort regarding his dying dad, I don't know if anyone every tried, to reply to his poem before but I thought, I would give it a try.
