Fear Not the Veil of Death

Fear not the veil of Death
For she is gentle
And will welcome you
With open arms.

She will kiss your brow,
And whisper tenderly
Before ushering you on
To your own Heaven.

But Pain is cruel
And would see you suffer
Before his Sister comes
To claim her just reward.

He will relish in your misery
And see the worst in you.
And then, before the end,
He will claim amends.

But Death has many friends,
For though her dark form
Is feared by many,
You needn’t her nor the others.

Hope will bring aid
And he will light thee
With warm feathers for wings
And send you forth.

He will help you be strong
And ensure a safe admittance
For Hope is kind
And Hope is not blind.

His mother, Faith, is wise.
She is who sends Hope
To guide you to Death
Without Pain.

Faith is bold and unyielding
In the light of torture
And she will always be there
Till the bitter end.

Fear not the veil of Death
For Pain may torment
And Harm you till the end,
Hope and Faith will be there.

Fear not the Veil of Death.
