I Mourn



I mourn for God's children
Who've died from hunger in their sleep;
Not from lack of food,
But from nutriment is why I weep.

Now, of what children do I write,
Those who've taken their last breath?
No-- to live separated from His Word
Is by far the greatest death.



-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-

Sadly said, spiritual death is by far the most terrible.

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.
