Thanatopsis

Death is such a strong word.
It’s a final solution,
The conclusion to our lives.
No one knows what it is like,
Although we have are own interpretations.
To me, death is the beginning.
A time to relive life,
As if never lived before.
With no recollection of the past.
When we die we will be taken
Before the death so there is no pain.
We will find ourselves
In a miraculous place.
A place full of radiance,
Love, peace, and comfort… Heaven.
All will shine with rays of light,
Rays that will dance around us
With such feelings not yet comprehendible.
We will look down on all those
With hope for the everlasting.
This place of beauty will go
On in time. Never once will
Those wish to go back
But rather gracious to be living,
Living in his home, his Castle.
The kingdom comes to hold
Those worthy of the King
All those are worthy for
The King.
