PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Through approximately thirty-three years,

You lived among us; and, during each day

and night, you followed one path and one way,

keeping your promise from which you did not stray.

You came to restore our Faith, to remove our tears,

and to shatter the power of that chief of fears

that we bear---our terror of the shadowed death

that yawns beneath us, patiently lurking to take

us into itself at that final breath.

Dying and rising to Life, You completed

our redemption.  Your presence in death defeated

its power; and Your glorious resurrection

gave to our redeemed lives the new direction

Heavenward---through Grace that will not fail or break.

Starward
