Till Death Us Do Part
Death is not the end of light and the
beginning of darkness,
No, indeed, on the journey of your soul,
It is the end of darkness and the
beginning of light.
It is not the blackness that falls with the
coming of night
Rather it is blowing out the candle
as a new day is dawning.
as you mourn the loss of a loved one,
Be not consumed with grief and remorse.
Rather celebrate the life and the love
you have shared
And count your blessings
Savour your treasured memories,
How once you would dance and sing.
Do not feel that you have been abandoned,
forgotten, left behind.
You are not alone.
The spirit of your loved one is with you,
always and everywhere,
Watching over you--your guardian angel.
Death is but another season,
Part of the sequence of life,
And as season follows season,
The cycle of growing goes on.
In Autumn the farmer does not wish for
the summer sun,
But wonders at the harvest it has provided,
And, though he delights in his vines
heavy with fruit,
Next year he will delight even more in the
wine they have produced.
You have nothing to fear from death,
For only in death will you be forever young.
Once again you will be with your loved ones
And together you will dance and sing
Together you will dance and sing
Together you will dance and sing.
