His Comfort

Striking him down when he is in his prime

The disease left him very little time.

It is a sobering fact of our life on Earth

Our bodies are susceptible from birth

To all manner of frightening forms of decay

We all must accept this, in our own way.

We all must be ready for the end to come

He lays in bed , knowing his race has been run.

As death approaches he finds comfort and peace

In the knowledge that when bodily functions cease

He will be in the arms of God above

Showing him the meaning of everlasting love !
