Poetry: Life after death

by Michelle Buitenhuis

Created on: April 30, 2008

Let there be... ;



Let there be a God,
Buddha, Allah, or anything divine.
Let there be an afterlife.

Oh afterlife be sweet.
Be heaven.
Be a peaceful place for all those wandering souls
That have left the earthly bodies
Of our loved ones.
Let them rise to something better than dark caskets
That lie six feet under.

Let there be heavenly gates
That so many people preach of.
Let them open themselves and let you in.
Let there be angels
And let them make you one of them.

Let there be someone, something,
Beyond this life.
Somewhere
Where you may find your peace
So I can find mine.
