If Death is Not Death, What Then?

Will death overtake me
in the night?
Will I find myself still alive,
without a body?
There’s a considerably wide belief
that asserts this is so:
can that majority be so wrong?

Perhaps I should have a plan
for such a contingency;
a means of intelligent input
should I not die when I “die”
but continue on
interacting with whomever.
Do I want to have some say
in what happens to me?
Or do I wish for the best
and let “them” dispose of me?

Should I assume I won’t exist at all
without a body?
Should I assume if I do
everything must be just fine?
Who says
things just motor on perfectly
in the afterlife?

Seems to me after all
life is based on free will;
that whatever happens to me
will be because I chose
or refused to choose –

My final point:
if I prepare for an eventuality
that never comes about,
the doing of which
has made me a better person:
what have I lost?

I believe that it wise to prepare a place for the soul...
The earthly body will die...and the soul can live on...for eternity...because God loved this world...and gave us his Son Jesus...James

It's all about choices I've been told
All about the proud the few and the BOLD!!!!

Be Bold...and that's about all I know...
