From Dust To Dust....

We all still grow,
even after we die
we do not stop growing

after being buried
our body is still breathing

gasses cannot be heard
and are invisible
constantly coming out all the time
unseen and unheard

after so many years
oft the coffin would be opened
be not shocked or surprised
the bones remain silent
our descendants would see
only dust and nothing but dust

no more love, life, wealth, happiness, sorrow,
they all see that day which we always call TOMORROW
these remnants are just one dry dusty whole
while the souls
are in heaven or not
they are on their last spot

As Jesus said once….
gather nothing,
since you are born with nothing,
do not gain wealth, when you die, you cannot take with,
all the wealth you possess,
it will only cause much stress

born with not a thing
die with nothing
you came from dust
you go back into dust....

and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.—

I have said God is the only poet, we are just readers of his works, I love poetry that honor him, it is so much better to give than receive, we can take nothing with us but we can establish a name him by and in his mercy and underserved kindness we just might find it in the book of life, I admire your faith reflecting in this poem: -)
