Knowing the end is near,
one man sits blankly in his chair,
his eyes looking hopelessly
out into nothingness.
His wife withdraws
consumed by fears
of soon becoming
"just a widow".
As the other man's friends and family
gather to say goodbye,
his eyes twinkle
as he lovingly shares
these last moments of his life.
His wife sits comfortingly by his side
loving him and accepting that he will
soon be "moving on".
Both men face death.
One man in bleak despair
dreads the ending of his life,
while the other,
sure of the eternalness of life,
joyfully anticipates
his future reunion with his family.
