My Journey to God

Where Goest Thou?

Where goest thou, O soul of mine?
Assigned to this sojourn on Earth,
Breathed by Breath, given body and birth.
A gift of free will assures choices are thine.

Thou canst spend thy hours in supplication,
Honoring and praising the Lord of creation,
The rewards of which are truly sublime,
Or the worldly joys thou canst freely seek,
Vainglory, riches and sins of the weak.

What chooseth thou, O soul of mine?
For whence comes time for mortal sleep,
The spirit with whose company thou keep,
In accordance with the choices of thine,
Will escort thee to the place of thy fate,
A place full of love or a place full of hate.
