Thoughts on the immortality of the human soul
Voyaging to heaven
Each soul must pass through tests
Sistered with a body;
Single entity of
Ego, brain, and spirit -
Love’s divine creation.

Once born into matter,
Forever journeying,
Young souls mature, become
Open, optimistic,
Undying explorers
Roaming the worlds of God.

Death is the key and door
Exiting matter’s plain.
Spiritual attributes
Increased by passing tests
Remain with the soul when
Entering paradise.
