Sonnet: What If Death Comes!

A lot of faces known to me are gone, Including near and dear ones, friends and foes! I wonder if I would exist till dawn! Bereavements add to personal grief and woes. The list grows bigger as I turn older! Some faces new become acquainted too; With time, our earthly life appears colder; When Death souls steals, what earthlings poor can do? None know when death takes off another soul; Our state of grace is always important; Preparing soul for heaven is our goal; No earthly job is more significant. Good Christians never fear their time of death, With faith in God unshakeable since birth! Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-19-2006
