A Poem About Eternity Poem by Kathy Parenteau

The Veil

The layer between life and
death our earthly eyes can't see
the crossing of our souls
into eternity.

On this side we feel pain can't
imagine or envision
a place a paradise where there
are no wrong decisions

Here we count the minutes
time means everything
through the veil it's blessings
that make our spirits sing

The life review begins
all mysteries unfold,
the time has come for healing
and forever letting go.

We're shown our life's true purpose
not graded on success
all relationships resurface
flash before us our very best.

We become a brilliant light
our bodies all brand new
dancing, twirling, praising
our time on earth is through.

Here we'll make mistakes
at times we all will fail,
forgiveness, acceptance, unconditional
love lie just beyond
the veil.
