The Afterlife

For you to feel as you feel right

By Joshua Lino-da CostaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I look upon the world beyond

To shores of golden sand

To the life been prepared for me

In a glorious and wondrous land

And there she waits in all her life

Arms out and wings aloud

Sending over her golden thoughts

In a gentle whispered cloud

And although she calls, she understands

That for now I can not go

As to leave this place I can not

Until someone else will know.

I listen to every word you say

And catch every tear that falls

I watch every gentle step you take

And my heart answers your calls

Every second that passes by

Relates to an entire day

And as time becomes our greatest foe

It holds me to where I stay.

But time can not hold us apart

For together we can be strong.

With my body tired and falling down

It is you that pulls me along.

The leaves have come and gone again

And the clouds are turning grey

But we must look forward now

And move on without delay

The hardest times have passed us by

With times of great to come

So let me leave this place behind

So we can ride off in the sun.
