No matter the way, no matter the time,
Life fades like the setting sun’s chime.
By nature’s hand or fate’s cruel tide,
One day, we all must step inside.

Some leave in slumber, peaceful, still,
Some by chance, against their will.
Some in battle, some in flight,
Yet all must face the endless night.

But death is not the journey’s end,
It is the door where souls ascend.
And what remains beyond that gate
Is set not by chance, but choice and fate.

So keep your soul, your heart made right,
Walk in truth, embrace the Light.
For none may know the hour or day,
When earth will fade and call us away.

Be ready, friend, make peace today,
With God who holds the final say.
For when you stand before His face,
Only His mercy will be your grace.

MarkWaldrop 

Mat 24:36  "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
