Time will eventually make my old bones ache
and yet, it'll also teach my heart to sing.
For I believe,
I have a soul.
Flesh and bone return to the dust from whence they came,
and my soul shall return from whence it came.
Life's not a dirge; it's more a Broadway song
that invites us to find our voice and sing along.
Aren't we spiritual beings,
processing a physical world?
We're eternal,
not immortal.
