When Glory Beckons

When glory beckons
With no regrets
On this day of sorrow
The course now set

End of life converges
A sweet release
Away from turmoil
To find peace

Death now approaching
Where is victory?
At one with the earth
For all eternity

Pride now forgotten
Fighting for life
Strength decreasing
Twisting the knife

Now to leave
Departure of the soul
With relief
Eternity unfolds

Do not be sad
The pulse now gone
The war of life continuous
This battle now is won

Mourn no more
Reaching eternal rest
Remember with no sadness
The final request

Now to leave
Departure of the soul
With relief
Eternity unfolds

Eternity unfolds

Unfolds
