Where Will I Go?

When I die where will I go,
Up to Heaven or Hell down below;

Will I see my family that is dead and gone,
Or will I even get to move on;

Will I fade into nothing and disappear,
Will I feel hunger, pain, or fear;

Am I doomed to suffer for eternity,
Or will I remain, more or less Me;

Will I come back in another life,
To once again feel anguish and strife;

Just where will my final judgment lay,
I hope God is merciful on that day.

~Inspired by "Is Death The End?" by Susan Palli~

We (humans) really have no true answers. Hence religion, theologians etc. I hope and PRAY we are more than just dust someday. Great philo write, Tirzah.

Well I believe our spirit lives on forever in peace and tranquillity and if we have satisfied all on Earth we needed to accomplish we live in Eternity ..else we come back as someone else and start all over again.. I have read many books on life after life experiences and we do see our loved ones again..which will be kinda cool.. good write and good luck in the contest.. Susan is an inspiration to us all.. Tirzah..with luv..
