Poems For the Dying

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!

Once I Leave

Once I leave, you will want to know more about Jesus. For wherever He is, there shall I also be. My dying here is not about me at all. It is really about how we each must answer His eternal call. You will think of me and wonder about life everlasting. Though you'll be bereaved, know that you too must some day meet the Master. Prepare your heart and be ready to depart when He calls your name. Then you with us forevermore will reign. Once I leave, you'll want to learn more about Jesus. But before I go, let me know that He has saved you from your sin. Believe me now or believe me when I go. Once I leave, you'll want to know more about Jesus.
