Death is Painless

Elizabeth Hope Ralston

Slip into the light
Don't steal a backward glance
Leave all you love behind
They shall feel the pain
Once the truth sinks in
But for you no pain shall be
Just the fain realization
That the earth is no longer your home
God will take you to heaven
In his strong holy hands
And then you will see
Death is painless
