Creation of Life
Life is a mystery;
it has a purpose
in God's master plan.
Life is meant
to subdue the earth
and to multiply
was His great command.
Life originated from the creation
of the heaven and of the earth
out from the emptiness
and darkness, He made the light.
When the heaven and the earth were done
God thought of creating a Man
Out in his nostrils
He breathed it LIFE.
HE made him a paradise
to live that he may thrive
A perfect sanctuary
that to God he will glorify.
But one day God saw him sad
Alone with emptiness
his companion was loneliness
in happiness deprived.
God was so creative
HE made him sleep
and out from his rib
Lo, a woman was conceived.
Life from that human creation
Relationship begun
It was dysfunctional too
But God never gave up.
Kingdoms above kingdoms
Nations upon nations
Lands over the lands
Under the heaven, Life fills the earth.
Then God saw of Man's imperfections
Corruptions and flaws too many
A man's erring ways prevailed
HIS rage in flood bestowed.
God was sad to see His creation gone
HE made a colourful rainbow ark;
A promise of a Covenant
signed between HIM and man,
that Life will grow again.
So HE sent His only Son
HIS beloved begotten SON
Conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Sent to save this world.
Life has a happy beginning
Sadly it has a sad ending.
Life begins with laughter
Yet it ends in tears.
It starts with exceeding joy.
And finishes in sorrow.
Life is God's breath
It is taken away in death.

sorrow at death is only for those alive for those who have passed on no longer know sorrow or pain so I don't agree death is only sorrow. Those grieve grieve from the void of not having the individual any more but don't think beyond that to a point that in the great vast beyond who knows what awaits us when its our turn...
