when I think of death
I don’t imagine Heaven,
pearly gates open widewhen I think of death
I see only a void, and
hear only silence
when I think of death
I wish I could believe God
waits with open arms
I am not a religious person but sometimes I wish I was. I think it can be a comfort to people in hard times.
