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!

No More Needs
Take a moment to remember a few of the many times, for just a few will do, when we thought I needed something that was not possible for you to give to me. I have those needs no more. Take another moment to recall, not all, maybe two or three of the times, you strained others, so I could gain something we thought I needed. I have those needs no more. After I leave, let your mind revisit and revisit the moment you thought I needed to stay to experience a future here, but instead, I met the day of my appointed time to die. I have those needs no more. When you remember, when you recall, when you revisit thoughts about my needs, know that I have access to the storehouse of God's riches in glory, and forever and ever and ever again, indeed, I have no more needs.
