Death be not proud
That you’ve gained one more soul
It was not a win for you
Swallowing whole
His breath and energy
Cancer and pain
You may count it as yours
But this loss is yet gain
Friends and dear family
Daughter and son
Draw near to heaven
Where life’s now begun
His grace is a blanket
His comfort a salve
His presence with Nathan
Is here with you now
Death be not proud
For this world is not home
For this earth which we roam
Will assault heart and bone
Rather, home is our city
In heaven and light
So I raise my proud fist
For one hell of a fight
