I see beauty in death as I gaze
At the colorful flowers in wide array
Beautifully arranged in wreaths and spray
Given by friends in love and sympathy.
I see beauty in death as I listened
To messages of hope, peace and love
Shared to uplift the grieving hearts
And to give light to their darkened sight.
I see beauty in death
As I hear the choir sing
Songs of assurance of God's loving care
Wiping tears of sadness and pain,
Giving strength for the journey
Along life's lonely way.
I see beauty in death as I see friends around
Sharing their presence in silent embrace.
I see beauty in death as I hear people say
Trust in God and believe that He'll be
Your companion and friend until the end
When your time will come around the bend.
