The Final Day

The final day is coming The mind beginning to decay This feeling cannot remain Will the end come today The sun slowly falls in the sky And the darkness begins The door between worlds Opens for those to pass by Breath is now slowing The heart faintly beating Now the body is going The physical end comes today As dirt covers the casket The open grave fills in No one can hear the spirit cry As the world says good bye The ground is now a prison With no physical escape Will the soul ever leave Or is it stuck in this grave

Dark and creepy write! We tend to assume that every soul went to heaven. I guess we don't really know, now do we? All we can do is pray that they were a child of God. Great poem!

Thank you Anna, it's good thing to have faith but not many really do?

Good question - where is the soul? Very thought provoking Matt.

We need to think about both side of our being body and soul.
