A lot of faces known to me are gone, <br />Including near and dear ones, friends and foes! <br />I wonder if I would exist till dawn! <br />Bereavements add to personal grief and woes. <br /> <br />The list grows bigger as I turn older! <br />Some faces new become acquainted too; <br />With time, our earthly life appears colder; <br />When Death souls steals, what earthlings poor can do? <br /> <br />None know when death takes off another soul; <br />Our state of grace is always important; <br />Preparing soul for heaven is our goal; <br />No earthly job is more significant. <br /> <br />Good Christians never fear their time of death, <br />With faith in God unshakeable since birth! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-19-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-what-if-death-comes/
