Masterpiece

Bishop Fulton Sheen said
 " every death should be treated as a masterpiece."

I understand that.
No matter how long or short
  the ending surpasses everything, every breath
  that life allowed us to take.
It is the culmination of our very existence.
Though life is indeed a gift,
 finding our way back to God
 makes the journey giving back worthwhile.
Every achievement,  no matter how small or grandiose
 is nothing when we close our eyes
 that singular last time.
Peace of soul, sacrifice of heart, 
 love given and taken embraces all
 in the masterpiece finale.
