Sound and Sense Chapter 14: Death Poem



In Child's Terms
After hearing that the family dog died,
Little Halle Claire pried,
“How do people get to heaven?”
Her mom raced through her head for an answer that Dr. Phil would applaud
Before she had the chance to answer, she stopped in awe,
As Halle declared, “There must be a great staircase that people walk up”

Her mom smiled, relieved that Halle was leading the conversation
Halle continued on, not quite done with her narration,
“After the staircase, there are planes that take everyone where they need to go”
Halle gave a nod, and her mom did as well.

The conversation was easy, and Halle showed no doubt,
That after death, there was no black-out,
Little Halle Claire believed that people reside,
Up in the clouds, long after they died.
