The Undead

Ghost are spirits that walk the earth
After being dead
I wonder if spirits go to heaven
Before being dead
While ghost walk the earth
Pretending to be alive
Do spirits visit heaven
With their wonderful surprise
Can loved ones know their relatives
Are coming
Though like ghost they arrive
Not yet whole and barely visible
To even heavenly eyes
There must be a few earth angels
As few as there are ghost
But with their apperance in the
Heavenly realm
They are guaranteed a heavenly birth

While ghost practice horror
And some with evil demise
Earth angels practice happiness
To satisfy heavenly lives
How blessed are the heavenly
Who's hopes are not denied
And the proof of heavens promise
Before the loved one dies

What is loose on earth
Is loose in heaven
Even spirits of the undead
I don't really know for fact
But by math to this I am lead
Just a passing thought I was given
Before going to bed
Have you ever dreamed of
Being in heaven
Before you were even dead?

When I was sick..Is a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson..I had to look it up for I did not know the author at the time I quoted the lines and I did make some mistakes within the quote..I should have said an indirect quote..I am sick and right then I was feeling so poorly that I did not bother..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Interesting ending question..The Bible says that there is a gulf fixed between Heaven and Earth and Heaven and Hell so that one can't pass from one to the other..The story of Lazarus and the rich man in the Bible..Sara

lots of reflective thoughts on those departed spirits. I often wonder myself why some ghosts remain behind in the earthly realm. It's explained by some that they had a traumatic death and are unable to move on. Pretty sad!!
