Unlocked LIfe

Death holds a set of keys

One each for you and me

Locked within this earthly basket

The keys unlock the casket

Leading to a hallowed destination

Each soul has a constellation

As the freed souls call

Death unlocks the casket

For death’s keys hold us all

<p>Thank you Retsu for posting this poem. It's short but it hits home easily and without apology. My favorite line would definitely have to be "Each soul has a constellation;" it's a very beautiful line.</p><p>Rebecca</p>
