WELCOME DEATH

WELCOME DEATH

[Don’t be afraid of death. It is just the final step before meeting the Lord]



When the final day is near
Then what should a man do?
Should he be in throes of fear
And try to, death, eschew?

Why implore the doctors that
They save from jaws of death?
They themselves cannot avoid
The moment of last breath.

Live the life granted to you
With full gusto and verve,
Trying to obey His wish
And eager to Him serve.

Is one life insufficient
To fulfill His command?
Jesus at thirty six did
Not a day more demand.

Man be grateful to Him that,
He did not you fosake.
When Death comes welcome it ‘cause
It will you to Him take.
