Sarah's Burial - Genesis Chapter 23 Poem

More about Sarah's Burial - Genesis Chapter 23 Poem

Sarah, the wife of Abraham, so dear,
Passed away, and left a void so clear,
Abraham mourned, with a heavy heart,
His beloved Sarah, now had to part.
He sought a burial place, a fitting site,
To lay Sarah's body, in eternal light,
He spoke to the Hittites, with respectful plea,
For a cave in Machpelah, a burial decree.
The Hittites offered, a generous deal,
But Abraham insisted, with solemn zeal,
He wanted to buy the cave, as his own,
To honor Sarah, with a burial stone.
He negotiated, and paid the price,
For the field and the cave, without any vice,
He buried Sarah, in the cave's embrace,
A resting place, in a hallowed place.
Genesis 23, a poignant tale,
Of love and loss, in a mournful veil,
A reminder of life's transient breath,
And the value of a beloved's final rest.
So let us cherish, our loved ones near,
And hold them close, with love so sincere,
And when they pass, to the eternal shore,
May we honor them, forevermore.
