[hometext] => Death is a part of life. Often it is a difficult part to pass through, but like one of the trials we have already experienced, its just something you go through, like a door, so you can get to the other side, the better side of life.
[bodytext] => Labored breath,
Wee winds of life, Drift me far from here. Clattering things, Bright lights, And voices disappear. Movies of the mind come flickering bye, Scenes of my past, out of sequence; Just moments, From here and there. "Mama, ....Daddy,..... Are all the babies okay?" "Sweetheart! Supper's almost ready. Now , don't be going too far away!" I hear bells ringing! Someone is singing! The chores aren't done, But I must go. One moment to linger; Parting is sadness. Loved ones I leave; My heart overflows. As they draw near to pause, I feel the tears that they grieve. I hear the prayers And The Words of God. I see the cross And I must go Where the fair winds blow. G.F.R.
