At My Last Goodbye- a Duo-Rhyme

What really happens when its your time to die, Your last breath taken, does your soul leave and fly. Is there really a deceased family member there to greet, Someone you loved greatly, waiting for the final meet. Is heaven really beautiful, at the gate is there a seat, If you’ve lived a good life, is it like a perfect retreat. Can there be life after death, I hope, or is this deceit, When we die, are we gone, just our bodies in concrete. As a scientific person my thoughts make it hard to lie, But I believe my family will greet me at my last goodbye.
