After we are lain to rest
The timeless raindrops we still be
A part of all that's beautiful
That part we seldom see
And if my death brings sorrow
I pray, don't weep for me
For now my eyes are open
Blessed by timeless raindrops
And God's great majesty

I liked this very much Bob-very gentle and sensitive write-we are all of us a small piece of the puzzle in God's great plan...even a tiny raindrop. Blessings Hilly Good luck xxx

Beautiful but sad too.
This is a very tender poem and reflects upon the real aspect of death. That those left behind can shed thier tears but hopefully will realise that the person has gone to a much better place, and feels no more sorrow or pain. There is true beauty in the fact that we can find in death the true light of God and his majesty. You have written a very heartfelt and beautiful poem. I wish you much luck in this contest I realy like this.

An excellent short poem, Bob--kind of sad, but well-worded and very nicely rhymed. A pleasure to read.

Bob, the tears shed as one passes, raindrops still pour like rain, sorrow through passing of a life brings relief that pain is gone...raindrops always pretty even on the coldest of days, nice piece here ...good luck..Moons
