I used to dread the change called death,
it bothered me a lot.
To think today; I might be here
tomorrow, I might not.

Since then my life has shown me
that God is always near.
If I'm His child and live in Him
what change have I to fear?

For somewhere in His universe
a door will open wide,
and those I loved, and thought I'd lost
will welcome me inside!

Indeed, Echo, there is nothing to fear in God, not even Death. Beautiful poem, it brings tears to my eyes to envision a day when I will be reunited with with my father and my grandparents and so many others who were once a part of my life. Thank you for the warm thought.

Now I can't wait to spend eternity with the Lord. I know it will be wonderful and well worth the stuff I have been through in my earthly body to continue living with Him after my earthly body dies. I am just glad He made sure that I never died in the past with all my suicide attempts cause if I would have succeeded I would have definitely gone to hell, and I don't want that now! I can't wait to get to Heaven with Him and all my friends and family that I have lost!
