LIFE FROM DEATH Date: Saturday, 3rd March 2012 @ 05:58:06 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: robert_edgar_burns The road to the future is painted with blood. It has always been this way. In death new life always finds it’s way through As the seeds of an oak tree will do. A soldier spills blood to give new life To a nation, a people, a cause. But in his own brave passing Life from death always gives a pause. The seeds of life always die and decay To sprout new life in the soil. A butterfly emerges new life from a shell After hardship and death and toil. Every person alive in the world today Will sometime pass away. But when that occurs new life is born. Eternity begins on that day! This poem is Copyright © robert_edgar_burns Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
