Toward The Light

Pondering the last mystery of life What awaits us after our final breath Through all history the stories are rife Faith softening the dark specter of death Hope for a world so full of war and strife Men have said they saw the last veil lifted As toward the brightest light they drifted An experience so peaceful and sweet They knew that from above they were gifted Sure keys to heaven were laid at their feet For Dr Ram's contest

I love this. A poem on near death experiences and pondering what might await us all. GREAT entry for Dr. Ram!

The near-death experiences of many people are all very similar, dear LNC. I have no doubt that we shall both find our way to the light at the end of physical life. Excellent entry for Dr. Ram's contest and winning wishes are headed your way. Hope you will have some success finding a "plan B" for us as well. Love, Carolyn
