Once upon our times:
Held everything
Then holding nothing,
Blasted in to reality

Life,
Lasting only as long,
As your final breath
Eternity truly ever lasting

Foundation built on tomorrow
It may never come,
Mortal weakness having expired
Forever, looked forward to

Ignorance has passed away,
Vanity buried with you
Yet spirit soon arises
From its earthly cocoon

Finally free at last,
Weren't before, you know
Least now you do
Say hello to wisdom

The truth is here,
Standing now before you
Dropping you to knees,
Ego yanked from view

Time now to listen,
Screaming discontentment is over
What intelligence you've gathered,
Given chance to grow

Finally seeing His power,
Realizing He is love
He will always hold you,
You are His child
