| [ catholic ] in KIDS 글 쓴 이(By): guest (zzikzzik) <europa-as51.laby> 날 짜 (Date): 2002년 5월 4일 토요일 오전 01시 41분 55초 제 목(Title): 천국이 있을 거라고 믿고싶을 때 천국이 아니라 극락이라도 별 상관이 없지만... 사랑하는 가족이나 친구들의 죽음을 맞을 때, 그들이 죽어서 좋은 세상에 갔을 거라고 생각하고, 언젠가 나도 죽게되면 다시 만날 거라고 믿고싶다. 친구로부터 친구 아버지의 부고에 관한 소식을 듣고 잠시 생각해 봤다. ------------------------------------- Another brother-in-law wrote and emailed this poem to us about an hour before Dad died. *********** I'm not sorry for Lloyd, he goes to the Lord His farms are fat, full and wide The pastures are green for nine months a year And the cattle are calving inside The dawn comes up silver, the milking is easy Nobody kicks or complains His friends and his family farm in that district Runnalls, Greenmans and Lanes He'll have time to hunt, to dance and to worship With that Campbell boy killed in the war And it's just here and now, that you'll all have to bear That you won't get to see him no more There's no sense in grieving, tears cannot heal him Tears cannot wash away time But take away death and it don't have a meaning No meter, no rhythm, no rhyme The fields of the Lord don't have any boundaries The sun is as sweet as a kiss You just wait awhile and then you'll be with him Side by side harvesting bliss C.
