What Will Death Be Like

Death will come to us all
whether today or another day
what it'll be like is unknown
for sure here we will not stay

Will it be like going to sleep?
except not to waken up again
just one long extended dose
with no recognition where or when

Now could it be a glorious heaven?
where everybody you know is there
so blissful and just sheer happiness
now then that's a thought could we dare?

This world was created out of darkness
so maybe that's where it will return
makes one ponder to consider this
or the maker press the button to adjourn

God is the creator of all things
whatever He does it will be well
for those that believe upon Him
when they die to heaven to dwell

God also is the eternal judge
for those that reject His blessed gospel
no matter what good they have done
His sentence will be to go to a living hell

('Death' is always an amazing subject, but nobody wants to speak about it, or if they do they want to sugar-sweet it to be more pleasant about its consequences.
So this is my thoughts upon it for what it's worth and my belief being God holds the key to it all.)

Death is more puzzling than life.... perhaps the greatest mystery and a sure reality ! No one knows how it is and when it comes ! We believe that we enter an eternal life once we bid goodbye to our mortal body and the virtuous will be gifted with heavenly bliss. This thought makes death less scary ! A thought provoking poem, dear Gordon.

For me I think death will be a metamorphosis. Hopefully turning us into into something even more beautiful than a butterfly God willing. Good discussion piece. May even cause some who read it to repent. Best regards David in NZ
