All Verses Called Back

Will your writing change when death comes to call,

knowing it’s time for goodbye

 

Will each word become richer, each memory dear,

in the limited by and by

 

As finality beckons, will conviction resolve,

 each day meaning more than the last

 

Your faith shaken then stirred, all verses called back

—eternity’s epitaph
