At times the wisest of answers
lies in these simple words:
i do not know
I do not know what happens after death
of whether the soul remains awake
of whether soul and body awaits
to be awakened in the last day
I do not know what judgment looms before us
or what mercies await us in our Father’s
loving arms
I only believe in this –
that death can be likened unto sleep
and that it is in the nature
of life to go on
night may come
but day comes as well to awaken
winter may fall
yet spring comes again
whence flowers bloom into their full blossom
I only believe in this-
that perfect love casts away all fear
and therefore, there is no fear in love
Glady and peacefully then
can I sleep
Joyfully and sweetly then
can I wait for the morning
