lying all alone
\non a cold slab of stone
\nthat is my uncle
\nbut is he?
\nhe is long gone
\nwith the last breath – his last song
\nto join the angels’ throng<\/p>\n
none of us can save another
\nnot wife
\nnor child
\nnor husband
\nnor father
\nnor daughter
\nnor son
\nnor sister
\nnor brother<\/p>\n
when the bell tolls
\nwe are all alone
\neach man by himself
\nto heed the maker’s call<\/p>\n
what then is money or property
\nis gold worth its weight?
\nwill diamond light the path?
\nwhat use is silvery plates and pans?<\/p>\n
Lazarus has fallen asleep a second time
\nnever to rise again in this life time<\/p>\n
every man is a tortured soul seeking rest<\/p>\n
what is man, that thou art mindful of him?
\nand the son of man, that thou visitest him?\u00a0 (Psalm 8:4)<\/p>\n
the days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.\u00a0\u00a0 (Psalm 90:10)<\/p>\n
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,. And wither and perish but naught changeth thee<\/p>\n
