The Day we Die

The day we die
The wind comes down
To take away
Our footprints.

The wind makes dust
To cover up
The marks we left
While walking.

For otherwise
The thing would seem
As if we were
Still living.

Therefore the wind
Is he who comes
To blow away
Our footprints.

But our memories
Can never be blown away
And it is this
That keeps one living.

Old San Saying

There is no death

There is no night without a dawning,
No Winter without a Spring,
And beyond death's dark horizon
Our hearts once more will sing ...
For those that leave us for awhile
Have only gone away
Out of a restless, careworn world
Into a "brighter day"
Where there will be no more partings,
And time is not counted by years,
Where there are no trials or troubles,
No worries, no cares and no tears.

Beyond Life's Gateway

There's an open gate at the end of the road
Through which each must go alone,
And there in a light we cannot see,
Our Father claims his own.
Beyond the gate our loved one
Finds happiness and rest,
And there is comfort in the thought
That a loving God knows best.

God be with You

The sky is not always a clear bright blue ...
Sometimes dark shadows and black clouds break through;
But back of the shadows the sun is agleam,
And with it's return a new hope will beam ...
This be your strength and this be your stay,
In time all the shadows will vanish away!

The Comfort & Sweetness of Peace

After the clouds, the sunshine, after the winter, the spring
After the shower, the rainbow ... for life is a changeable thing;
After the night, the morning ... bidding all darkness cease.
After life's cares and sorrows ... the comfort and sweetness of peace.
