The Afterlife

My life, or should I put it my death
Will be a new start for my breath
We live to die so they say
We can die almost any day
I believe we go to another location
Somewhere where we are on vacation
Out beyond our lives here
Still near those we care
I look forward to my next life
Where I can live better free of strife
Love will abound here freely
And fellowship is easy agreeably
I will have a pure heart
Deep inside the afterlife’s start
Forever will be my time here
To hold great pleasure’s share

Russell Sivey
