Poetic-Verses
'' That's Your Personal Choice ''
These are questions I've pondered my entire life,
None of them I could say are unique,
They're the cause of arguments and of great strife,
As life after death what's we seek
Is there a Heaven when we meet our death?
It's on most peoples hoped for lists,
Why is it we must take our final breath,
To discover if a paradise exists.
Is there a Hell with an eternal fire?
Where the evil of the Earth will burn,
Personally I think the concept is dire,
The very thought makes my stomach churn.
Is there a purgatory between Heaven and Hell?
Who decides it's the place you will go,
Can God like beings really foretell,
If you've been evil how do they know?
Is there no sin in this Heavenly domain?
No stalking horse waiting in the wings,
Infinite peace to us humans is insane,
Without infighting an alarm bell rings.
After years of pondering the answer came through,
As I sat by my dying Fathers side,
He told me that yes a Heaven is true,
But where that is will be for you to decide.
He told me to think of the place I loved best,
With the people I love all around,
If travelling the galaxy is to be your quest,
Then that dream for you will be found.
As death approached him he said, do not fear,
I'm in the place I've always wanted to be,
I can see my parents they're beckoning me here,
From this Earthly life I'm now free.
When my Father passed with a smile on his face,
I knew his paradise had been found,
Though his person I could never replace,
His final words were profound.
Live life to the full while you're here,
The hereafter just doesn't apply,
Do not go through life living in fear,
For like it or not we'll all die.
There'll be no intervention from a Satan or God,
On that final day you'll rejoice,
By dreaming the dream you'll become overawed,
Where you go,
