DEATH

Death is the kindest friend we
have
Why call him King of terrorist"
And why Grim monster" and
the like.
To make us quake, turn pale
with fright,
Away with such old errors.
The beautiful death angel comes,
Clad in bright robes immortal.
Unlocks our prison house of clay
And leads us forth to endless day
Thru flower encircled portal.
While angels bright with beam
ing face,
Stand waiting there to meet us,
And lead us on to join the throng
OF loved and loving friends long
gone,
Who gladly come to greet us.
