《 《 LIFE IS FOREVER! DEATH IS A DREAM! 》》

              If we did not go to sleep at night 

            We'd never awaken to see the light 

        And the joy of watching a new day break

        Or meeting the dawn by some quiet lake

          Would never be ours unless we slept

             While God and all his Angels kept

               A vigil through this "little death"

           That's over with the morning's breath

            And death, too, is a time of sleeping

           For those who die is in God's keeping 

           And there is a "sunrise" for each soul

         For life not death is God's promised goal 

      So trust God's promise and doubt him never 

      For only through death can man live forever!
