The Last Breath The withered body is drained of strength But still holds life in labored breath And the soul craves for eternal peace When it rendezvous with death. This withered body with head bowed low Over wounds inflicted by mortal hands… “Lord, forgive them their transgressions Since the ignorant do not understand” This withered body with arms held wide Can no longer embrace the weak and poor…… “Lord, keep thy holy light aglow Should the unfortunate knock on heaven’s door” This withered body with feet held fast Can no longer lead the faithful sheep “Lord guide those that stray away Towards the light of thy eternal keep.” The withered body, alas, lies still As life sheds its final breath And the soul slumbers in eternal peace Since its rendezvous with death |

Well done. How often we over look a beautiful soul because it is encased in a withered or unattractive body. Joyce |

Beautiful Anwaar. The soul shines through the withered body always ... to see it always is a gift and also to be aware of it! Death will lead us into new Life ... Love, Margherita |

This is very touching. I felt as I read it that I was on my knees in prayer. Very nice writing. Hugs, Marti |

The soul is so beautiful as is the heart and mind. when put in another's perception...there flesh doesn't matter at all. It's vain really...what makes them beautiful or ugly is the condition of their heart, soul, and mind. |

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You for posting this, dearest friend, sadly so many pay attention to the outside rather than looking in the inside, where so many neglected beautiful souls shine, and these souls are what reach out to others who cry and give them a helping hand and a shoulder to lean on! (wipes tears) You are one pure soul, sweet friend, God Bless You, I notice you live in Denver, Colorado, I live in a suburb just northwest of there, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anwaar, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
