CONQUERED DEATH AND WON
by Gayle McMillan I watched him fade slowly from this life Waiting at death's door Drawing a shallow breath Desiring dignity, little more Death is not our friend, I cried Why does he have to die? I've never understood But filled with questions, Why? I've heard all the answers It doesn't take the pain It seems that life's too short And all is lived in vain Then SORROW took my hand She lead me through my grief I could face another death, I said If separation were but brief Then FAITH whispered softly Take courage child, theres hope FAITHFULNESS embraced me And taught me how to cope WISDOM looked me straight in the eye And said; He's in a better place! Don't be filled with sad despair Wipe those tears from you're face JOY broke through my sadness And said; Life has just begun He's learned all of life's lessons And he's conquered death and won.
