THE OTHER SIDE

Shoshana Kurzweil

Young, and at the point of death,
    She saw her dreams all die,
Never knowing what she’d find,
    Once on the other side.

Barely more than just a child,
     A young and lovely girl,
No one understood why she’d be
    Taken from this world.

It seemed so sad and such a waste,
    That she would die so young,
Leaving so much unfulfilled,
    So many songs unsung.

Still...she’d grown up strong in faith,
    That God controlled the plan,
And now she had to trust that this
     Was somehow from His Hand.

Resigned, she turned her head away,
    And with the softest sigh,
A gentle smile upon her lips,
    She closed her eyes...and died.

And found, to her great wonderment,
    She still possessed her sight.
She saw, around her, shining bright,
    A tunnel filled with Light.

Now, soaring, flying, rushing through,
    To reach the other side,
As eager and as filled with awe
    As any mortal bride....

She felt such overwhelming love,
    And looked into a Face,
Aglow from deep within the Light,
    Its essence, Strength and Grace.

And, as the Light illumined her,
    She saw, with joy so sweet,
Her life; not short or unfulfilled,
    But perfect and complete.
