Go read book of Job
He rose above circumstance
The answer for life

Awaking from sleep
How does drowning really feel?
Lungs flood, life's cord snaps

Black dress speaks my name
Always be prepared for death
Flight comes unscheduled

Uneasy feeling
There is somewhere I must go
The door knock tells me

Final departure
For warned, packing not required
No luggage arrives

Filmed memories left
Tapes played daily in the mind
Stay with those you love

Walk across water
Take the hand of Him you love
Journey to Heaven

Life is very short
Even if you stay awhile
It's a vapourly mist

Life's not possession
Nor is life really possessed
It's about sharing

An all knowing God
Loves, cares and understands you,
He hears your small voice

Oh, how you have put all the pain and heartbreaking loss in so few words...my dear friend, I too know your pain,,love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Life's not possession
Nor is life really possessed
It's about sharing
Such a powerful stanza, this one!
And if we allow our hearts to be truly His, He'll help us in the sharing.

You have said a great deal in these, Songbird.  Very sad, yet very well done.  Nice work.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
