A Reason We Die

I pondered one night the mystery
Of why people have to die
How we as a species are doomed from birth
I just couldnt understand why

Was it just from the bite of one apple
That our destiny became forever sealed
Then why should the generations that follow
Suffer over one broken deal

Perhaps from the beginning God knew our 
hearts
And the mayhem we would cause every day
If he allowed us to live forever
Perhaps our whole world would be blown 
away

So he sent his son here with a promise
If we follow him there would be no demise.
And spread the message of love all around
We would live forever in paradise

Hi Carl; I love this poem. I think we die to give someone else a chance to live. We are promised that if we follow Jesus - we will have eternal life. Thanks for this poem. Have a great day... Lucilla
