The famous poet, John Donne, once wrote:
Death
be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty
and dreadfull, for, thou are not so …
One
short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And
death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
That sentiment is a powerful reminder of life's ultimate victory. Death's reign is temporary; life's is eternal, thorough and complete.
