Heaven

Falling Asleep


We have but
one life to live.
Some have
more time
than others.
Some babies
live for a day
and are
no longer.
Some babies
are born and
live to be children.
Some grow
to be teenagers.
Some babies
grow up
and live
a full life.
Falling asleep
when they are finished
with their life's work.
Falling asleep
is the metamorphosis
to an eternal life...
An eternal life
you choose
depending on
what you decide
before you sleep.

I remember watching Ghost one summer in Michigan.  What a tearjerker.  Good versus evil runs rampant as a common theme throughout our movies.  You either see a white light and get taken into heaven or you see dark demons that drag you into hell according to this movie.

I was at a funeral today for a friend's Dad.  He lived a full life and leaves a living legacy made up of a wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  It made me think of my own Dad that passed.  I miss him.  I miss my Mom too.
