(This poem may also be read backward, from the bottom up) In a world where I do not exist There's a place where I'm yet to enlist Where my yearning cannot be dismissed And my soul reaches out to be kissed One day there, where I will re-exist After crossing that bridge in the mist (If life's demons I chose to resist) Lifted high through that Heavenly midst There, my loved ones hold hands and subsist On that day, I will join them, assist In rejoicing the peace we had missed To this new world, my efforts persist
