To Death

You, I implore
Never to take my loved Ones,
With force you come
My prayers to harden.

Now, I stand,
In complete distaste for you:
To let you know
You are nothing
Nothing!
And your threat to me
Only awakens the joy
Of the knowledge
That to my Father you bring me
And with my family
You most certainly rejoin me.

So where is your faith death?
Where is the fear you created?
Where is your sting?
Broken they all are
And be sure
You won't live long
As long as my God lives.
