Alive - with a twist!
Know not why,
but for sure alive.
What can be done while still here,
is more important than why.
So many equally wonderful options to choose from, too!
No matter what the path is,
a clear mind, and a pure heart -
filled with grace and faith,
are all that is needed
to make this life and the next - meaningful.
