One By One Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

One By One

Rating: 5.0


I stand tall and free
Without Death
Terrorizing my soul.

For those who die in faith
Shall rise again
Dead are not forgot
Asleep in quiet fields of repose.

God's love makes them free
And they shall enter Paradise
Blessed as angels... one by one.

when i as little i used to believe that when i saw a patch of the sun's rays peeking through dense clouds in the sky, that it was a person's soul being brought up to heaven, knowing that their bodies would join it one day. thanks for writing this, it's really good

In ten terse lines, you succinctly stated the fundamental principle of most Christian religions, Colin, and quite eloquently at that. It is that belief in an everlasting soul that has comforted and guided so many through the darkest hours of their lives. Your words in this poem were well chosen, and like a fellow Englishman of yours once said, brevity is the soul of wit. Carl.
