Death, be not proud
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

Dear Aunt Evelynn & Family
Its with the warmest of hearts I reach out to you with prayers of comfort in the the name of the Lord Jesus who said" He will never leave us or forsake us".
And its with that promise of God that we hold dearly because He promised to never leave us comfortless.
Its also great comfort knowing uncle Norman loved the Lord and was a faithful servant and went home to behold the face of our Lord.
I love you all.
Your Newphew, Your Cousin & fellow laborer in the Lord.
