A poetic meditation on faith.

What do you believe

Do you believe

In heaven

Do you truly believe

That heaven exists

Is not a fancy story

Told just to soothe our fears

That there is nothing beyond this life

I hope you do believe

For if you don’t

Life is very bleak indeed!

    I believe in heaven. Life would be hard if you did not try to prepare in this life for the afterlife. Excellent poem.
