Is there a life after death, we wonder

But could there be a life without death, just ponder

Why do we think it’s the road’s end?

When life is just taken through a sharp bend

What do we lose, if there are no corners to turn

Would life be easier without having to mourn?

Yet death is as certain as certain can be

Lurking in the shadows for you and for me

Where there is shadow, there will always be light

It’s in the darkness we see all that is bright

The sands of time, the dream of afterlife

Turned tombs to wonders, death to lasting life

There is never a beginning without an end

And life is always there waiting behind the bend

Fear not death, there is no need to hide

For it’s death that gives life its finest ride
