Deep Thoughts
As I sit on this dreary rainy day
My thoughts go into the darkness
Inside a valley where no man knows
Or on the right side of a cliff
for on the wrong side we drop to the unknown
When we are younger death seemed unreal
It was something for older folks not young
Then comes the first time we lose someone
We begin to realize that there is no coming back
Once you are gone you are gone for good
You have stepped over that cliff
Never to be seen or heard from again.
As you grow and get old, life seems shorter
We know that we all must die, sometime
We all hope it is later and not sooner
But when death comes we have leave
Nothing is taken with us , all is left behind
We have faith to guide us into the next world
But, we also have that fear of the unknown
We have that fear if we have been good enough
For the life we have just lived
We worry about the loved ones we leave behind
We pray we have walked the right path
As we grew, some religions talk about heaven and hell
Heaven as a beautiful place in all cases
But, hell as a burning inferno in some cases
Others, steps we take that we have to learn
to make it into heaven.
Whatever the case may be ,we all still wonder
What it will be like
In some cases, others think that once you die
That is it, you are bones in the ground
Nothing more.
We are never prepared when death comes to our door
When he knocks we are gone.
I truly hope I see the light and not the darkness
My gloomy thoughts on this rainy day.
