Life Death and Beyond Contest

I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience, We all have a purpose, a divine destiny Some never fulfill it because their hearts become cold and empty, Many forces surround us everyday, Some oppose us while others encourage us to pray, When you take the time to remove daily distractions, Close your eyes and simply breathe, You realize that there is more to this life than your eyes in the natural can perceive, Miracles occur every day, supernatural experience's some would say When death comes knocking on your door too soon Angels guard your life and obey Gods directions to save you from your doom Science can prove only certain things It can’t explain why some people have seen angelic wings Or why some have died and gone to heaven or hell Come back to earth and live to tell For as long as man has been, he has pondered the mysteries of life after death Many religions have books that explain what happens when your time has expired and your spirit has left, Just gaze your eyes on the ocean tides, Or watch as the sun each night says it goodbyes, Observe a butterfly coming out of its cocoon, Or a seed in the ground growing into a glorious bloom, Just gawk into space through a telescope, The billions of stars, planets and invisible ropes, That connects us to the universe It brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart want to burst, When our spirits leave this outer shell, We will understand what our minds on earth failed to tell, When we see no more pain in a place with our name, The sorrows of this life and all the days filled with strife Will evaporate and wash away, We will live forever where it’s always day, We will never grow old or get physically sick, So don’t take this life too seriously as the hours continue to tick, Don’t give up when you’re feeling down and want to die, Because there is a mansion in the sky waiting for you and I, It’s all a matter of what you believe and if you know God Eternity is not a silly fairytale or façade, There is life after death just follow your heart, It’s no coincidence that people have always known but question where to start, I can guarantee if you ask God himself, He will reveal it to you just like he has done for somebody else.
