Am I the only funeral pastor
imagining myself one day to be
the one whose life’s recounted with fervor
across some sign of my dust and ashes?
Am I the only funeral pastor
yearning to trust the sure and certain hope,
with fierce assurance for my hearers’ hearts,
that I myself find peace – God has spoken?
Am I the only funeral pastor
waiting in silence in my soul as God’s
passing guest invited and welcomed for
permanent residence and settled home?
For God alone my soul waits in silence,
and in the silence I will cling to peace.
