THE BEAUTY OF DYING

1.      MORE GLORIOUS

Dying is not an end to itself. It only produces something more beautiful and more glorious than the life we presently live. We hope to see you again soon in this glorious land.

2.      SET FREE

When I carry upon my shoulders a load that is too heavy to bear, when I am besieged with the problems of life, when my sorrows do weigh me down then I will remember and then I will smile. For soon I will be set free and like the ship on the oceans I will sail and like the birds across the sky I will fly to be near you to be free in that beautiful place where only the righteous dwell.

 

3.      ONLY MEMORIES

Who would have ever thought the day would draw nigh so soon when we would have loved to sit and hear from your own lips those great words of wisdom but alas how it hurts to know that all we have now is just the memories of you. Painful though it is but one thing is sure:you will always be in our hearts until we meet again.

4.      I am fishing, I am searching for the answers to my quest, I am fishing through stormy waters till I find you, then I will be free.

5.      Please tell me where and tell me how I can find someone somewhere just anyone who can loosen my mind from this hollow in my heart. For whenever I think of you the tears keep flowing down endlessly. For it is still hard for me to believe you have gone away from me.

6.      Can I ever escape this pain inside? Yet another day is gone but I am still all alone. Why did you have to go and leave me so all alone in this cold and lonely sphere of existence? I don’t want to be here alone any more.

7.      There are many questions going on in my mind but who can tell by merely looking at my face what these things are? You were there for me right from the beginning, you set me on the path of knowledge, helped me build my dreams with your two hands. And know that I am about to enter the fullness of the realty of my aspirations, suddenly you have been taken away from me. How it hurts.

8.      Daddy please tell me why there is sadness in my heart? I don’t want to say goodbye to you. Death is one great illusion I should try to forget but somehow I just can’t forget. For death itself is nothing, it is only an opener that ushers us into the greater sphere of existence: The After Life. There we will meet our redeemer and then enjoy all HIS bounties HE has prepared for us forever.

 

9.      Father, you gave love to me. The love you gave is the highest form of love any Father could ever give to a child. All that I ever needed you provided, you made your wealth of knowledge available so that I and not just I alone but all who so desire will drink from. For there was no respect of persons nor shadow of turnings with you and how it breaks my heart to say good night for we shall surely meet again at the breaking of dawn.

10.  Should I be able to turn back the hands of time and should I then be given the opportunity to demand just one thing, then without fail it would be this: To feel your touch and hear you say again how much you love me. Goodbye dad.
