Last week a woman from our neighborhood died in a pedestrian accident. It seems that Death is one of those somber events that causes us to search deeply to know and understand. In response to this event, we penned this poem:
WHEN DEATH CALLS
When death calls a loved one beyond this mortal veil
Is it somewhat like a prisoner, who is released from jail?
Or like a caterpillar chrysalis, who becomes a butterfly?
Is death that great adventure beyond the human eye?
We see our Great Spirit’s promise on all land, sky, and in sea
From the smallest living thing, to the tallest living tree
From wood that changes into smoke and flows up in the sky
To the rebirth of the forests as spring gladdens heart and eye.
When a death takes a loved one, great sorrow fills our heart.
We must mourn with those who mourn; in this way, we do our part.
The Master of creation loves and cares for every soul
From each child held in death’s sleep, to us who live and grow.
From each new dawn unto every eve, hope blooms eternally.
We each have senses beyond our sight, where hope and faith grow free.
May we have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to understand
Resurrection’s miracles, for each child in God’s wondrous plan.
From the Son unto this glorious earth, light flows eternally
Through the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, we can fly forever free.
