After Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

After-life is a saying that most people don't
understand, they seem to have trouble believing
in heaven or purgatory.

We Catholics believe and take it in stride,
knowing the truths of where we go when dying
from this earthly life.

When a baby is born there is an after-birth, so
it is when dying, we then have an after-life, a
new rebirthing into another dimension called heaven.

Looking forward to dying once again, now knowing
truths and realities of where my soul and spirit
are going.

Having had the experience of being in heaven, an
intense stillness and peace that engulfs me still
whenever I remember being there.

A total and complete memory of dying, remembering
it vividly and having no fear, just looking forward
to doing it again.
