Thirteen words

I have doubted religion for a long time, 

All because of a question a man had asked me long ago

He was not a rich man nor a hatefull man

He did not seek to destroy all my belief 

Just wanted to show me that my life was not complete

As it was

As it will be

 

His simple question was this,

 "would you enjoy heaven if all of your loved ones

Went to hell."

Those thirteen words changed me from 

Be good for goodness sake

To being good with out a reason

No need for a resin

The fact was I needed to live

As if there was no after life

Not so I wouldn't fear hell

But so I can live with love and hatred

So I can spend time with my loves as if we could be separated

So I could fear and care others saw me.

 

Those thirteen words allowed me out of a closet

With no worry of damnation

Only hope of forever love

One that can weave throw heaven and hell

If they so exist

So I can say I shall never be alone 

 

Those thirteen words opened my eyes

To not just hopes and dreams of a religion 

But what all people seek in a after life

Love

Love of a god

Love that shatters time and space

It's not just for me

All wish to find that love in flesh

No mater in a man,

Woman or just a companion 

I will forever seek the same love

The bible teaches of
