The books all placed neatly, seemed to be aglow
The shop seemed alive with lights, getting brighter as you go
Not too bright to see, but it touched your very soul
What they didn't realize was, that feeling inside, was their goal

The old shopkeeper, gray hair and balding head
Sat at a desk writing, that's where they were led
He looked up and smiled, his smile was so kind
He asked them if there was anything, he could help them find

They weren't even sure, what they were looking for
In fact, they felt it was a dream, that led them to this door
It was a feeling, a knowing, something that felt so right
That led them to this bookshop, that was shining so bright

They found a book that seemed to shine, it was the right kind
All about “The Afterlife,” which resonated completely to their mind
They knew life went on after we die, because they talked to those Passed
They live on in what you call Heaven, even when their Earth bodies don't last

For the believers, we already know that those who are gone from this world
live on in the Spirit World, and we shall join them one day when our time comes.
For those who are unsure, believe me, they come around to check on you, because
their love for you is so strong, nothing can keep them apart.
Those who don't believe, you'll find out when you pass. I won't even try to
convince you, when the time is right, you will know, and be very surprised.
Love & Light To All
