Life  And Death


For those who were
And are not
Weep not
They sleep the everlasting sleep of peace

Safe in the arms of Him
Whose love is boundless
Whose mercy is infinite

For those who were
And are not
Yet loved and were loved
Rejoice

For their love is immortal testimony
To the worth of their existence

Pity instead those who are
Yet do not love
Shed tears for those whose fingers
Do not tremble with tenderness
For another

Is not the miracle of life with love
However short
Immeasurably preferable to the barren hell
Of loveless sentience?

For those who are and also loved
Cast off sadness and despair
You are truly the blessed of this earth
A thousand eons cannot tarnish
The richness of your precious gift.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

pegasus111:  I guess this emphasizes that old adage: "Life is for the living".  Well done.
