With a troubled soul I try to sleep
I finally close my eyes in bed,
Burdened with worries for me alone to keep;
Now, I am dead.

I woke-up in a sunlit room
How I got there I don't know,
Without any furnishings not even a broom
Then I heard a voice saying, "Hello".
The voice it was kind and sincere
I know that I have heard it once before,
When I was young, before I knew of fear
Then in front of me appeared a door.
I have no memories of yesterday
Or of the doors and rooms that I might had walked in,
I am now filled with a happiness that does not stray
And I don't even know where I have been.
Peace, it is has now enveloped me
That calmness and serenity I cannot deny,
I now stop and I study the surrounding beauty,
And then I wonder, 'Where am I".
My arms and my body have lost their hue
As for my appearance I had sought,
I am now a person without a heritage, that I knew
Equality and love is now my only thought.
Today I am just walking, almost flying
As I meet new persons here and there,
I enjoy my new feelings without pain or crying
And as always, I thank God with a prayer.
Today is the first day of my forever
There is no thoughts or pursuits for tomorrow,
In front of me is a path for me to endeavour
And as for yesterday, I have no memories of sorrow.
I see friends and family that have long past
They are the loves that I have always known,
So, we walk together, the road is vast
Now in front of me, I see a great and mighty throne.
