IMAGINE AND ENDURE
Is religion
About not dying?
Life after death?
Whatever original creation story –
It is about what happens after life.
Is there a connection?
Who will be there?
What will it be like?
And forever the answers flow.
Each culture unfolds.
Dreams, aspirations, hopes –
All there to see
For the children
For the girls
For the grandparents who get old
And all life’s creatures which
Must somehow fit in the fold
The world a delicate place
A place for tough souls
Who go on beyond
To where we cannot know.
By definition we cannot be sure
But our nature
Is to imagine and endure
We see the future
Glorious and bright
Prosperous, healthy, pretty and nice
Yet we also know the bones
Just underneath our cheeks and chin
Are white and ancient and last beyond the grin
That now I can make and truly mean.
Smile, for the moment is fleeting --
