Meaning of Life..

Life is full of joy and sorrow,

past, present, and tomorrow.

Knowing life as I do now,

I still have questions of why and how.

I can't remember my very first cry;

will I have any memories after I die?

I'd like to believe we're all here for good reason,

and life upon earth is but for a season,

with hopes we long continue on

in a much better place after we've gone,

pondering how very sad it would be

if after I die there was nothing of me.

Even so much sadder than this

are those loved ones I love and a very last kiss!

I can't imagine how love ever dies

the last time that we close our eyes.

There's something deep inside my being

that promises much more than just our seeing!

To me there's only one conclusion.

Heaven is real; it's not a delusion.

Love must be the everlasting key

that transcends our souls to eternity.

Since our time on earth has been season to season,

why wouldn't God continue His reason?

This heavenly place must truly exist,

filled with souls we've deeply missed,

No more pain, tears, or sorrows.

Only loved-filled, joyful eternal tomorrows!
