At the Point of No Return

Have you practiced kindness
on the path you chose?
Are you thankful even
despite all your woes?

Do you realize love
is all that really matters,
but desire for great wealth
will leave you in tatters?

Can you let go hate
and forgiveness learn?
Bright light you will see then
at the point of no return.

A guy got a haircut from my daughter at a salon recently. He told her about his NDE when his heart stopped beating for 8 minutes. This is the advice he was given to know from God. It inspired me to finally write a little poem for this contest
