Death, its such a commonplace
A simple thing, a fact of life
Of fading away into the dust
And just like birth
A daily occurrence
But oh, it is the letting go
That farewell word
And promise of eternal love
Those loved ones trembling on the brink
So many years, the missing fears
The hand that falters, the last breath sighing
And goodbye lingering on the air
As heaven wide opens that shining light
Living oblivion welcomes the whole
Soothes the spirit
Confounds the body
Dissolves its weight
Peace reigns supreme
The Host enfolds the questing soul
