Victorious Death

Breathing out serenely mortal breath’s end Dad faced death, courageously triumphant Leaving us faith’s legacy to ascend… Midst infirmity, staying jubilant Exposing countenance so radiant. In our struggle to conquer grievous pain God’s grace gripped us with life’s marvelous gain Assuring victory* over grave’s might; Thus, we trust His love of eternal reign ‘Til we meet Dad in forever delight.

Wonderful, Beata. Not just the message. I love the way you patterned this into two stanzas. It reads and looks beautiful.

Ah, death is such a different experience. None exactly alike. Nicely done. I can feel your feelings, my friend.
