When the Bell Will Chime for me

"Death is the beginning of life as life is the beginning of death ..."              
                                              Paul H. Yarbrough

                              When the Bell will Chime for me

                       When the bell will chime for me to depart
                  I shall greet my journey with smiles on my face
                       With the fairest flame of faith in my heart
                          With a plea to shower on me His grace
                            With prayers, vigour to me to impart,
                         Yearning for the divine shrine to embrace
                             Imploring the Lord to pilot my flight
                           To the distant realm that is ever bright.

                      When the bell will chime for me for last time
                        Let no tears drip from eyes of close of kin
                      But their cheeks glow with rays of sunshine,
                        Let no sadness on their forehead be seen
                      But their lips effuse words of divine hymns:
                Death is not end but source where new life springs--
                            For some it is freedom from illusion
                               And search for divine unification.
