Selected by God <br />To swoop down for the soul. <br />To escort the Departed <br />From this beautiful life <br />Of trophies and earthly tolls. <br /> <br />More erect than their soldier <br />Who served on this battlefied. <br />They show no emotions <br />Until the grave has been sealed. <br /> <br />They obey each command <br />Syncronized in their mind. <br />Their job is so saintly <br />Performing each given duty <br />So orderly and so refined. <br /> <br />The soul is set free <br />To serve and behold. <br />The beauty of its life <br />For heaven is the goal. <br /> <br />The Angelic Pallbearers Of Life <br />One lifts the soul up <br />And one lays the body to rest. <br />As love ones reminisce <br />Of their Departed's given best. <br /> <br />The Pallbearers of Life <br />Who retrieve for the heavenly throne. <br />Are those whom God has selected <br />And heaven is already their home.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angelic-pallbearers/
