Dream Eulogy
I thought long & hard on what to say
on this day I prayed to stave away
it is an honor to deliver this eulogy
to comfort the family that is your legacy
You were my best friend you were always there
to comfort me in times of despair
you taught me so much words can't explain
the void that is left since you went away
I cannot dwell on the fact that you're gone
on just your virtues I could go on and on
instead, I am taking a different approach
to lift all those up who love you the most
A short story I wish to share
It is my theory on where we go from here
I ask this question, what happens when we sleep?
the answer, keep in mind, it's about to get deep
I am going to recite this entirely by route
Forgive me I don't wish to misquote
Read for yourself the clue that was found
book of John in the Bible is where it is bound
Jesus said Lazarus is sleeping I must go and awake
but he didn't mean sleeping in the traditional way
the disciple said Lord if he sleeps he shall do well
the misunderstanding Jesus quickly dispelled
Jesus said plainly Lazurus has died
he likened death unto sleep keep this mind
the rest of the story most of us know
the stone was removed and from the dead, he arose
Jesus is the resurrection and the life
and upon his return, the dead will arise
the living shall continue living and alive
with his return, the believers shall revive
The answer to my question is something inferred
comparable deliverance of those two words
if death is like sleep then in death we must dream
the only explanation for what it must mean
Don't take my word for it read it yourself
Our loved ones are with us in the dream realm
I hope this gives comfort to those in need
your loved one is with you in your own dreams
