I THOUGHT ABOUT DEATH TODAY. By Jim Kittelberger I thought about death today, Of sadness and leavings. I hate leavings, always have. If your life has been touched With love, then how could it be otherwise. A life of happiness is like beautiful music, You wish to enjoy it forever. Life is a gift of immeasurable treasures, That I will surely hold on to with all my strength, Until my fingers too weak for the effort, are placed in that benevolent hand that Will lead me to that place of gathering. The miracle of what is to be will heal all wounds And sadness, to be replaced one day by that Wonderful moment of reunion when all The love of earth will once again surround me. Knowing this, as rock hard truth wrapped in Heavenly faith comforts me now, and when the Moment of leaving arrives will without doubt Provide to the most loved of my loves an island Of peace and promise.
