What’s the power of life insurance?

A piece of legal phrases protecting the company and not the policy holders? Columns of misleading terms and figures?  A book on nonsense with different languages?

What do you think about death then?

Death is when your love ones must depart

Death is a sharp pain to the heart

Death is a feeling of permanent sadness and pain
Death is when your loved ones have forever gone away

Death is a call to heaven or hell
Death is an eternal mansion or cell

Death is a lesson to learn about
Death is a loss, without a doubt

Death is an unhappy feeling to have
Death is unpleasant on anyone’s behalf

Death is something we all will go through
Death is a storm waiting to brew

Death is a lingering crow always overhead
Death is a soul, done being fed

A life policy, the time-yellowed piece of figured paper, when it is baptized with a widow’s tears, through magic wands and aladdin’s lamp, it is food, shelter,comfort, love and peace of mind. It is a magical letter ever written with the slightest cost of love.

It eases the hunger of a crying baby, It eases the aching heart of widow, it takes away part of her sorrow and suffer, it comforts the silent nights coz it is a the courage and induced strength for her to move on alone but hopeful. For some people, it is not only a piece of white bread, it is the education for the children, a chance for a career instead of dying need of a job for survival.

It is the fruition of a father’s hopes and dreams for those he dearly cares. It is an eternal care and love. Through life insurance, he lives on. Life insurance is a plan that exalts life and defeats death. It is the premium that we pay for the privilege of living after death.
