Time Soars and Pain flees

The sands of time is devoured by each days passing
We are not only promised death
But also uncertainty

He went to his eternal slumber
But I woke up that day

cuz that 24 hour span was the first time I open my eyes
To the fact that tomorrow really isn't promised

And as tears sprinted down my face
Not only in morn that I may never see his face
But that one day we will all be in his place
I felt trapped

Confined to this earthly form
Forced to preserve that which is already
Destine for destruction

I found comfort in the words of fallen
For they said the body is trapped
But the soul is free

From that I found strength to smile
cuz then I understood that in death he found freedom

Freedom from both death and uncertainty
No longer prisoner to this flesh bared cell

And as the pain set sail on the sea of my salt water tears
I took part in the celebration of his home going

A trip so many before him has taken
And so many after him must take

To a land where joy shall never end
May you fly away.
