Eternal Life

The sun shines in a different way.
Brown hues swirl with red,
making my shadow only reminiscent
of my former self,
and I'm not scared.
No, I'm not scared,
afraid of what I'll become,
scared of who I am.
Those I've given happiness
make the end not look so grim,
and the pride of knowing
that one day I'll fly to Him
who has given me a voice
and thank Him for the most priceless and sweet gift
of myself and the love
that poured forth from my lips, creating blissful songs
and the happy tears fans cried,
my heart that ached if it wasn't giving.
Now my legacy lives on
in my "Grace" and my "Last Goodbye,"
as I tuck those whom I love in at night
and breathe silent kisses on their brows.
Shed no more tears for me,
for your tears washed me ashore
to my eternal resting place.
And I'm home now,
living my eternal life.
