The Christian does not fear thee, Death,
Nor does he dread the grave;
For thou art just a means of wealth
That one day he shall have.
The Christian knows the grave to be
A portal to the skies—
‘Tis just a door to Heaven, where
He shall meet the Savior’s eyes.
A simple but impressive religious verse, all the better for being brief. You have said all you wanted to say, in a well controlled way.
Wonderful writing Paige. Beautiful, rhyme and message. I really enjoyed the last stanza particularly. 10 Karin Anderson
