When I go

When I go

A Poem by Keith Jeffries
"

Our ultimate destiny

"
When I go

When I go
how will I know?
Will I retain my identity?
Will I keep my memories?
Will I see those who have gone before?
or those who will come after me..
Or am I to be grains of stardust,
blowing about in outer space?
Will my achievements be tallied up,
my failures held to account?
Will I keep my talents and skills?
Will my old dogs be there?

Where am I destined for?
Is there a place prepared?
Will there be choices to be made?
What language shall I speak?
Have I served any useful purpose?

All will be safely gathered in,
as we are but part of a plan.
With finite minds,
we cannot comprehend.
Trust, we will need on the outward journey,
with Love as our passport to eternity.
