A Soul's Journey

A day started out, it really looked bright no one could recognize just what was in site how was I to know, the heavens were about to flow soon I would be escorted, to that place we all must go When those angels came for me, I was ill prepared didn’t pack any clothes, wouldn’t need anything to wear yet I knew that it had to be good, whatever would be because G-d is calling the shots, to this we all do see Lost opportunities to reflect on life, and all that my body once did yearn how it has now been reduced, to little more than food for the worm stoic indeed was I now, since during my life I maintained my belief preparing my soul for this journey, so that I could now expect relief I knew, therefore, when I was young awaiting me was this court case even though it was much in the future, eventually, it I would have to face so I made sure to invest the time, helping both friends and strangers in need for I knew the secret, heaven would certainly treat me likewise, indeed Measure for measure does our Creator deal with us, for this is part of his design not always perceivable to man, because it emanates from the realm of the divine ultimately making known his true righteousness in judgement, for all to see A day of judgement truly awaits, and our very souls will be forced to agree Only in this world are we constantly challenged, many tests emanate from within because there has been put inside of us, an evil inclination trying to get us to sin having made known to us, there is a medicine for our benefit he has deployed patiently hoping for us to choose wisely, our constant sinning for us to avoid This medicine is a secret, and is made known to only a select few and is given over to those, choosing to staying far away from the untrue I have recognized this fact, a fact that is difficult but does hold true when you starve your body from sin, merit for your soul do you accrue After leaving this world, we hope to paradise we all shall surely go not wanting to contemplate, the existence of that other place down below the message is a simple one, tailored for all those earnestly wishing to know do many acts of kindness in this world, and in the next your soul will surely glow
