Prayer

A Meditation for All Saints' Day

I don't believe in death, who mocks in silent stealth;

He robs us only of a breath, not of a lifetime's wealth.

I don't believe the tomb imprisons us in the earth,

It's but another loving womb,

preparing our new birth.

I do believe in Life, empowered from above,

Till, freed from stress and worldly strife

We soar through realms above.

I do believe that then, in joy that never ends,

We'll meet all those we've loved, again,

And celebrate our friends!
