Description
He walks down the isle to the pulpitTouching roses of white on the way
He raises his hands in the silence
He says ‘Friends, I have something to say.’
He speaks ever slowly to the people
The people who aren’t visibly near
His face smiling up towards the heavens
A bright light then begins to appear
He says ‘Friends, I have something to tell you,
I’m part way between this world and the next
Hold my hand as I waltz to a better place
You’ve made me feel truly blessed’
He breathes in deeply and sighs
His frail mouth curved into a smile
He then closes his eyes and relaxes
And lies perfectly still for a while
Then cold tears erupt from his eyelids
But he continues to speak to the crowd
Although no one is near him to listen
He insists upon speaking aloud
He says ‘Friends, I have something to tell you,
I’m part way between this world and the next
Hold my hand as I waltz to a better place
You’ve made me feel truly blessed’
To mortal eyes he appears to be dying
But to God he is just being born
He solemnly lies in his deathbed
His body looks faded and worn
A small flower erupting from soil
A young bird that is fresh on the wing
God sees this old man as an infant
A child just learning to sing
He says ‘Friends, I have something to tell you,
I’m part way between this world and the next
Hold my hand as I waltz to a better place
You’ve made me feel truly blessed’
He stares blankly up at the ceiling
Eyes fixed upon the fluorescent lights
In his mind there is singing and dancing
Beautiful angels dressed solely in white
But evil eats away at his body
Hastily moving his death along
But nothing can harm his spirit
His soul continues to grow strong
He says ‘Friends, I have something to tell you,
I’m part way between this world and the next
Hold my hand as I waltz to a better place
You’ve made me feel truly blessed’
If there’s one thing that God wants to tell us
He’ll use this old man to proclaim
For what else is this strong voice that’s calling?
The man and the Lord are the same
He says ‘Friends, I have something to show you,
This man is now peaceful at rest
He holds my hand as we waltz to a better place
You’ve all made him feel truly blessed’

Thats a beautiful poem. It shows you that death is not something to look at with scorn but 2 rejoice. That death is not the end but only the beginning. The birth of a new life and that god will walk along side with you in death and that death is a time 2 rejoice and shout out with joy not a time 2 morn and cry for those that leave, leave 2 a better place. I really like this poem it looks like it took along time 2 do it and you must of put alot of effort and thought into it. Great job with it...
