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!

What Do I Do Now?
What do I do with the blueprints we designed together to build a world of love, joy, peace, and happiness now that my loved one has died? I have tried time and time again to be strong in the Lord and to cry my last tear of sorrow. But each tomorrow I face returns me to the place where I wept the day before, remembering that you exist here no more. Missing you the way I do makes me wonder, "What do I do now?" I take the pieces of my broken heart to Jesus. I grab our blueprints up and off to Him I run. I start to build the things we'd planned to give Him glory. What I must do is weep for you as I press on and through to Jesus. I must work and build until He calls me home.
