life

on the passing of Petra C. Puente

it is the death of sickness in her body
for she now dances

it is the death of lonliness
for she now is comforted by those gone before

it is the death of grief
for she sees the ones she has mourned for so long

it is the death of heartache
for her husband holds her now in his arms

it is the death of sorrow
joy has come to rescue her soul

is the death of sin
eternal life has won
freedom has come

o death where is your victory?
o grave where is your sting?
