"Death Is But The Soul's Migration"
Life on earth is a transient affair,
Just a few brief years in which to prepare
For a life that is free from pain and tears
Where time is not counted by hours or years--
For death is the only method God chose
To colonize heaven with the souls of those
Who by their apprenticeship on earth
Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth--
So death is not sad...it's a time for elation,
A joyous transition...the soul's emigration
Into a place where the soul's safe and free
To live with God through eternity!
