I was searching through an old backup disk and ran across this…Thought it was worth posting… I wrote it in 12/00.

As it is in life, it proceeds in death

We retain our soul, yet give up our breath

Our soul is the keeper of all that we are

Our body is just a host

To maintain our purpose in this world

Until we are as ghosts

So, in life our goal should be

To perfect and keep our soul

And not our body

Our body will last only a short while

Our mind will eventually fade

Yet our soul; our being

Will at our death be raised

Into a higher consciousness

It will sour amongst a different plane

For all of time even though with our body gone

Time will never be again

So, with this in mind

With this thought fresh

Think of your soul as our keeper through life and after death

It is our soul that remains, our bodies are made to decay
