We are all dying. It is true of the sinner, as well as the saint. We must prepare for life after death. Writing these poems comforted me when I was mourning my brother, Bruce (October 20, 1953 - November 3, 2010). I wrote Poems For the Dying 1). to encourage Christians, 2). to comfort the bereaved, 3). to make those battling terminal illnesses less fearful, and 4). to be a soul winning tool. Death creates an unexpected, soul-gathering harvest opportunity. There is life after death. Joy!

Fear Nothing
Run. Run until you find something else to occupy your mind. For by now, you know that running can no longer make you weary, no matter how hard you try. Walk. Walk with family. Walk with friends until you reach the end of another millenium. You will find even then that you will not faint. When a Saint learns to wait upon the Lord, his reward, her reward is renewed strength. In your eternal home, it is not hard to wait. For the presence of the Lord permeates each and every space, and you'll never walk or run alone. So mount up, my brother. Mount up, my sister. Fly. Run. Walk. Here at Home, fear nothing.
