My Answer
All matter is energy which can't disappear
But Where does our energy go from here
Our body matter is gone for good
Where our energy goes is not understood
Cycles create our universe
And everything that lives and dies on the earth
It only makes sense our energy cycles back
Scientifically it's a viable fact
The famous tunnel ending at the light
Is the birth journey and the first sight
Our energy returns but not the same
We are a brand new person with and brand new name
Our memories were stored in our brains
When we die that does not remain
If ten years ago your mother died
She's a ten year old child somewhere alive
There's no arguing with facts
The person who died never comes back
Just their energy in someone new
You wouldn't know them and they wouldn't know you
Science makes more sense to me
Than believing in some maker we cannot see
This is just an educated guess
Of what happens after death
Heaven and hell aren't real to me
Nor are all the gods we never see
Our higher power is within
This cycle will go on until the earth no longer spins
The people you've lost aren't in heaven or hell
They're back on earth doing very well
It's nice to think that when you go
You will see all the ones you love and know
The beauty is you'll no longer grieve
Your new life is fresh for new memories
Of course we will miss them while we're still alive
But we too will restart a brand new life
There energy has just been transferred
And that is my answer
