To a man of faith death is..

To a man of faith death is a bridge,

A small bridge connecting mortality to immortality,

To a man of faith death is a gate,

A small gate ushering men into their eternal home,
To a man of faith death is a hidden seed,
A hidden seed among rocks waiting for the Sower's voice,

To a man of faith death is a pool,

A small pool where sweat and tears of life are wiped,

To a man of faith death is victory,

A big victory after a purposeful living in ones days,

To a man of faith death opens a new page,

A blank page whose footnote and header are God's Spirit,

To a man of faith death is just but a dot,

A small dot within the long story of God's eternal living,

To a man of faith death is a key,

A key connecting one with a long desired life of joy,

To a man of faith death is a welcome visitor,

A welcome visitor after a fully assured life across it,

To a man of faith death is departure from a room,

Departure from a changing room in hope to appear on His stage,

To a man of faith death is like sleeping on the coach,

Sleeping on the coach to later wake up in the arms of Christ,

Indeed to a man of faith physical death is nothing to grieve,

Nothing to grieve but victorious rest.

A poem on reflections of what I believe physical death is to a Christian.
