My Beloved Church Bells

by tempeste

My
church bells,
a warm voice
on sleepless nights.
Come joyous Christmas
together we rejoice.
My bells will herald my death
after I take my final breath.
As I leave behind an empty shell
they will bid me a bittersweet farewell.

When someone dies, our local priest is advised and then he plays the bells of mourning..and in a handful of minutes, the whole town knows who has died.

It comforts me to know that my beloved bells will be ringing at my funeral bidding my farewell.


I say bittersweet:
bitter because I'm leaving ,
sweet, hopefully I'm going to live with our Lord
