Death comes to those who are right and those who are wrong.
Death is a gift for the weak and the strong.
Death has no quarrel over religion or skin.
Death takes the righteous and those that do sin.
Death has no friends but some seek its hand
Death has no feeling, but does understand……

That the past has been lived but now it has died.
The future’s not certain and that makes some terrified.
The present is all we’ve got and it’s ours to be used,
But life created death and death is not confused.

With a heart that was open but eyes that were closed,

She found a safe place and within she dozed.

In her sleep, she saw a star way up high

And she listened as it sang a soulful lullaby.



“I feel your sobbing heart through the soles of my feet,

But I pray the day is prolonged until finally, we meet.

Your body I caress through my spirit and soul,

But no wish nor truth can make my own body whole.”



Deeper she slept, but the dream didn’t fade,

No matter how much she tried, in her heart it still laid.

Trying to forget, praying for release

She sang in silence in search of that peace.



“I feel your heart and I feel your pain,

I imagined that at my side you’d always remain.

But death took you away and left me here,

With the doubts that surround me, filling me with fear.”


The star returned, now lower in the sky,

A tear she saw as it began to cry.

She wiped that tear with a lock of her hair,

Placed it in her heart and left it there.

The tear was returned when his hand touched her own,

As she made her way skyward no longer alone.

The lovers became one when her life slipped away,

Now in heaven, together, the lovers now lay!

To not live alone and be apart

To welcome love and share a heart

To take a blow without complaint

To offer peace without constraint.



To be pure when morals scream

To only see the beauty in all you dream

To show compassion to those in need

To be content with no thought of greed.



To wish for nothing and ask for less

To live a life without duress

To offer silence in a raging storm

To be yourself and not conform.



To accept the pitfalls along your path

To smile and always be willing to laugh

To see the good where others see bad

To be happy and never be sad.



To be complete with love to spare

To live in colour where nothing’s bare

To encourage and abide

To be humble and not full of pride.



To wish that fear could always abate

To offer friendship and speak no hate

To stand straight and strong beside the weak

To give the innocent a chance to speak.



Perhaps these words come from misty-eyes

And most of the things have been tried

But sentiment or not I know this much is true

My wishes for a future are better than that I now view.
