When the soul leaves the body,
where does it go?

Does it fly up to heaven,
being with everyone that it has ever held dear,
relax in a place of paradise?

Does is cross the great plains of this Earth,
seeing all it has missed in it's life,
watching whom it loves from above?

Does it go on a grate adventure,
solving puzzles,
fulfilling a quest?

Does it fill another,
as the last breath from its body fades,
it is breathed in by a childs first?

I can not believe that our adventure can end so abruptly,
I think that there are still stories to be told,
and pages to write.

However,
if there is not,
then I just want mine to be a book worth reading.
