THIS LIFE
In childhood my mind was full of questions
What is true? Are my beliefs built on a lie?
Family tradition left no room for suggestions
My parents' religious practice, I dared not defy

Mass introduced me to kneeling hypocrites
those sinning with pleasure through the week
then confessed with unrepentant wits
acting righteous, humble and oh so meek

Despite my reflections, for God I felt great love
and prayed that someday soon I would learn
to accept His Word with guidance from above
His expectations from me I would then discern

In query, if God was Father, Holy Spirit and Son
how then, could he sit at His own right hand?
Told, 'it's a mystery,' I knew my search had begun
my desire for truth had made me take a stand

A Bible study was started, the idea of a friend
within a week, interest peeked, it all made sense
I found the Truth, forsooth, now I comprehend
False teachings held too many lies and pretense

          OUR NEXT LIFE

I followed God's word and scriptural intent
I know what happened to me after death
God fulfilled His promise, and my time is spent
in Earth's Edenic gardens, grateful for every breath

Jesus' life given for the sin of Adam and Eve
Death took me, and I woke upon resurrection
With my whole heart, I was right to believe
in Jehovah's promises, I bowed in subjection

Living in a perfect world is where I am now
There's no heartache, suffering, or tragic war
No greater gift than paradise, God did endow
where sick ones heal, and death is no more

Loved ones returned from darkened graves
I hold them in my arms, tears of joy in my eyes
Life, immortalized. Righteous ones He saves
To live forever is a blessing, my revered prize

AS OUR BREATH FLOWS HERE AND NOW

I seek everlasting life, and praise His name
to those with a righteous heart, willing sheep
I tell them of His Kingdom and why Jesus came
to Earth. A sacred vow to God, I reverently keep

To many, life in this world brings tears and pain
Days are grim; calamity and sorrow are here
Jehovah God promises a virtuous earthly domain
I convey His message: "There is nothing to fear."

These days we need a light to hold on to hope
Faith in Scripture that guides with Heavenly light
Through spiritual encouragement, we can cope
I offer God's Truth that will set all things aright
