I Surrender My Soul

I am not afraid of dying or what lies beyond Death.

Some may question why I have no fear,
Until they understand that I am a soul;
Released at the time of my death.
Realizing the truth of this, 
Entrenched my spiritual convictions.
Now that I am older, I accept that
Death is an inevitable certainty.  
Everyone dies, but Jesus spoke of a spiritual
Resurrection, once Death releases us from mortal flesh.

My beliefs will guide me past Death's door, where I'll
Yield to God's love and judgment as a soul.
 
Suppose for a moment, there was no God, 
Our existence, our conciseness, would all be for naught.
Until we accept we are souls, we are spiritually blind;
Look beyond the reality of now; look through the eyes of faith.

(Acrostic)
