Death is not pretty

Death is not pretty,

It is not meant to be,

The body decomposes

naturally,

 

The process begins

before we are gone,

We stop nourishing it

before we go home,

 

Loved ones surround us

at our bedside,

There is no hiding

what is happening inside,

 

Skin wrinkles and withers

face sunken and hollow,

We are giving up this life

and leaving tomorrow,

 

Death is not pretty

and so we see,

what is left is the shell

where our soul used to be,

 

As the process unfolds

we leave body behind,

The spirit is freed!

because our God is kind,

 

So don’t worry for me

as I leave you here,

for my spirit is soaring

to other spheres,

 

You will see me again

in a very short time,

We are always, forever,

united as one.
