In Sympathy
To watch a sunrise appear
Is to almost hear God say,
When life in one form ceases
It becomes life in a different way.
Thus night is like this life
Dawn’s the life we’ve yet to know.
This earth life will end
Our soul’s life will always grow.
Just as night sounds fade at dawn
And darkness turns to gray,
The birds knowing dawn is coming
Sing for the sunrise of the day.
So when this life starts fading
Our soul sings its highest range,
Then like the night to dawn
These two forms interchange.
For death is not a sunset
It’s a sunrise God has planned.
It’s our rising up to God
Our being touched by his own hand.
In Sympathy
