The Joy in Death

There is joy in Death,
Oh, can't you see?
For now my soul has been set free!

My body lies still now,
But my body is not me,
Worry no more of how my death came to be.

I wondered so long of what I now know,
That all of the trials in life we must face,
Are rewarded hereafter in everlasting grace.

For you, those I've left behind
Please take comfort in what I have shared,
For this, I too was so unprepared.

I feel no loss, and have no more pain,
So mourn me no more, but instead pray,
Until our chance to meet again one day.
