      A Little Step Away

      To close the eye, to fall asleep
      To draw a labored breath
      To find release from daily cares
      In what we know as death...

      Is this the crowning of a life,
      The aim or end thereof?
      The totaled sum of consciousness,
      The ripened fruit of love?

      It cannot be, for works of God
      Are wrought for nobler ends,
      And those away continue on
      In the hearts of kin and friends.

      It cannot be, for they live on
      A little step away.
      The soul, the everlasting life,
      Has found a better day....

      -O. J. Hanson
