When I Die - I Intend To Sleep In Peace

When I Die – You will have peace

When I eventually die
It won’t matter so I won’t cry
As what’s the reason for wondering why

I came I saw but knew not what
I struggled to find it all out
Never to ever know
Why I am here or where I go

Then it hit me
That I am here just to be
As I am not you
And you’re not me

As my life was only mine 
So is yours in your own time

But I hope together we might just be
Living life somewhere eternally

Maybe at last sleeping in peace

There is eternal life but at present people don't buy that. If one does, there is an eternal life. A new body and a world like ours with no evil. Sounds Good to me.! Will share my FAV quote.it's something to ponder... . "we are spiritual beings having a human experience" A spirit never dies! Hope I meet you on the other side, one day! Love, Panagiota
