A life is taken.
A soul now rests.
You take without asking.
You need no one’s permission.
You need no one’s help.
You speak and a soul answers.
Home, you two are going now.
Many other souls welcome you back.
Joy fills the heavens.
How much longer before my name is called?
I wait faithfully and eagerly.
