IN REMEMBRANCE
Gustuf John Kaisand

A LITTLE STEP AWAY

To close the eye, to fall asleep
To draw a labored breath,
To find release from daily cares
In what we know as death
Is this the crowning of a life
The aim or end thereof?
The totaled sum of consciousness,
The ripened fruit of love?
It cannot be, for works of God
Are wrought for nobler ends,
And those away continue on
In the hearts of kin and friends.
It cannot be,for they live on
A little step away
The soul, the everlasting life,
Has found a better day . . . . .
