My Life After Life

My Life After Life
you may question my story 
or dismiss it all together as fantasy 
or just a dream I may have had 
to the unbelievers I know  there is nothing I can say 
that will ever sway your thoughts my way

life on the other side
is still an unsettling scary mystery
but believers have believed in it throughout history
we will all pass away someday
each to his or her own destiny

but for me I know where I will go
and what awaits me on the other side
you see I have been there 
and I have returned to share the mystery

as my body lay upon the operating table 
I can see all the doctors and nurses from above
frantically working trying to save me from death
 and save my wife and children from stress


my heart attack was more serious than I realized 
 I was sitting in my brown leather easy chair 
denying that I was dying 

then in an instant of time 
my perception of my life forever changed 
I could feel love surround me from everywhere
far beyond any feeling of love that I had ever known
the sun light was so bright at first I couldn’t see
who was standing all around me

I have always believed in Jesus Christ
he’s been a force for good in my life
there he was standing with open arms
a warm loving smile upon his face 
welcoming me to heaven with love
and standing beside him was my family
my grandma grandpa my mom an dad and sister too
who had all passed away

what a wondrous beautiful place I was in
I do believe it's heaven
as love completely engulfed me eternally
I could see the beautiful majestic flowers all around and hear the birds song

just as I was about to be touched and hugged by my family 
Jesus said it’s not your time to stay
you must go away but you will return again someday my son

at that particular instant I awoke in my hospital bed 
I knew then that I wasn’t dead
my wife and two children 
all had tears streaming down their face
I had to except I was back among the human race

this story has been told
by many who have passed it’s not unique 
but skeptics remain and unbelievers too
I smile to myself knowing when I finely die
I will be in heaven to meet my destiny 

my hope is that my story
will fill your heart mind an soul
that heaven awaits us all
do not fear death till your last breath
heaven is a magnificent wonderful loving place
when it’s your time to leave the human rat race

This is not my personal story I received it by telepathy by someone whose story it is.
