PASSING THROUGH

So many times I think of death

And see how many fear,

But for me it's just a journey

With heaven drawing near.

 When I close my eyes at night

And in my sleep, time passes by;

I think of death as just that way

With life in dreams when I die.

 Though in life, I always wake,

In death I will wake too,

But it will be another world;

The one I pass into.

 A world where no more tears are shed

Nor goodbyes are ever said;

With my loved ones I will stay

And never more get out of bed.
