I wondered today what it would be like to die,

To finally leave it all, grow wings and fly,

What would the world beyond this one be,

Whats sights and sounds there would I see,

Will I still be able to feel and emote,

To all that at this time, myself I devote,

Will we meet again once this phase is past,

In Valhalla will a new script be cast,

How much there will we carry from this life,

Of all those beautiful memories of joys and strife,

But I realize that since everything is so uncertain,

Whence I am unaware of what lies behind the curtain,

My worries, my concerns and all my fears,

My joys, my sorrows, my smiles and my tears,

Are the greatest gift that I could have hoped to receive,

And are beyond all that I could ever hope to achieve,

My thoughts though are a fruitless quest,

Cause I know after all, it’s life that matters, not my eventual death!
