Into the Light

As the spirit left the body It ventured towards the light Never thinking it would have to choose Whether to go left or right Standing at a crossroads in the afterlife A choice between glory and doom A heavenly choir sings As eternal joy looms The choice then becomes quite clear As you choose the path that's right Alleviating all your fears As you journey into light By: Joseph May
