An edited oldie for The Truth Poetry Contest of  Robert James Liguori

Some say we are but bodies with a brain and that the heart (when it can beat no more) will have an end; I see no reason for this way to think when answers seem so plain. There’s meaning to our lives and what we are! All nature is the proof. There is rebirth abounding all around us on this earth! Look heavenward! Truth glitters in each star. As surely as we always see the dawn when we awaken, I know truth is THIS: God wants our growth so we can taste of bliss, and this we’ll do - for souls go on and on!

Then I knew . . . Oh- how then, I would always know, that the Sun would rise in the east again and forever. ~ even as "Love Content", confounds the fool.

I agree with your sentiments, Andrea. We're earth bound right now, but our souls live on. Earth is just the place to learn and, as you sad, taste bliss. Best wishes with the contest, Sara

"when we awaken, I know truth is THIS: God wants our growth so we can taste of bliss, and this we’ll do - for souls go on and on!" Wonderful writing! I agree. Though I have met a few bodies, whom I have enjoyed, grateful for lack of brains. I have enough of my own to give myself nausea at times.
