Alouette

I do not fear death
or grieve my last breath.
I'll leave this physical realm,
to what, I don't know
but I'm psyched to go,
the feeling should overwhelm.
Relinquishing life
for an afterlife
curiosity numbs fear
though life bonds sever.
My soul's forever
and faith helps me persevere.
To find there's a God
that isn't a fraud
would be all I could hope for,
if heaven is true
then God's love is too
and thus, my spirit shall soar.
If there's naught but sleep
there's no need to weep.
I'll blink out, finally free
and never feel pain
or anguish again;
it seems a win-win to me.
