Poem


I began my life as a little Roman Catholic girl,
But after the death of my sister, mother lost faith;
And we never, ever went to church anymore,
Mother said we did not need the church or God.
    But I did, I would go to the big church not far,
        I tiptoed up front to where the candles burned;
And I lit some for my sister who was in Nirvana,
The good will have a place in Heaven, in Paradise;
    In the hereafter, the next world, the next life,
        But if one believes in Heaven, then also Hell.

I hold fast the concept of a supreme being, Lord,
So, I believe that there is an afterlife in Heaven;
I cannot accept anything else, it would destroy me,
My beloved have to be waiting in the Firmament.
    So yes, I am expecting after this realm, Eternity,
        Once when I was sad, I felt a hand upon me;
Once I thought I heard grandma talking, once father.
And once my beloved kissed my lips, with his love,
    There waiting, my babies who never knew the sky;
        And because of all that, I can endure this life.
