On A Better Life



Lift your heads and start to smile.

Be happy! That's the way!

This life is not your only mile,

That's what the scriptures say.



Christ spoke of many mansions

where there's room for one and all

Whether you're with virtue

or a sinner yet to fall.



Imagine an eternity

with graduated planes

Where every thing's provided

and it never, never rains?



Where beauty is abundant

far beyond our wildest dreams,

and there are no animosities

or crooked, sinful schemes.



Where one and all have work to do

with friendliness the creed,

And our radiant Redeemer

will fill your every need.



And those you used to know on earth

are there to greet you in

And welcome you with loving heart

though yours was filled with sin.



And in these many mansions

where every one is known

are souls from many other lands

in worlds beyond our own.



There are no evil spirits

such as Satan's deemed to be

Except perhaps within your heart

Though even it will flee.



So cast aside misgivings,

Try to lose your fears of hell

Just live your life the best you can

all things will turn out well.



Remember, death is not the end,

it's just a passageway,

A portal that we all go through

to see that Light of day!

Just a few odd moments of philosophical thinking... Perhaps a window of hope for those who wonder or doubt...
