A question that so many ask
Is where we soon will go
For we all know that when we're done
To death we all will grow
For leaving is inevitable
Is what we’re meant to do
We come to learn our lessons
And when done then we are through
This life is a gift of many breaths
And when our breathe is at our last
We look upon all we have done
We review our life past
And if good we’ve done then we can say
We have done all we’re meant
We have become much better
And we can look forward to ascent
And if instead we have hurt others
Not given thought to acts
We’ve thoughtlessly hurt others
And fallen through the cracks
Then we’ll go home realizing that
We could have done so much more
We could have made improvements
Right through to our soul core
This gift of life is given
So we can make things right
Discernment and responsibility
We should hold onto really tight
And become the very best
Of who we’re meant to be
To make things better to become
A better side of me
So if death you fear and want to hide
Then heed these words I say
Always practice being kind to all
In love you then will stay
For death is just a passing
A letting go of who we’ve been
And moving on to something better
Our soul we try to clean
And if our job upon this Earth
Was done with vim and vigour
Then your ascent after this life
For sure you can assure
