On my way up, I turn and look,
I stop and stare at an open book.
I cannot see what the pages contain,
I only hope that they lack distain.

Suddenly I am torn away,
Forever will those pages be grey;
Its too late now, I'm on my way
To face the judgement of God today.

As I approach the pearly gates,
I mourn, fearing what future awaits.
Now all I see is the Heavenly Court,
I'm no trouble to them, they make it short.

Why do I feel myself going down?
I scream and kick as I head toward the ground;
What have I done that I deserve this?
Refer to the book, you'll see all that I've missed.

Below the surface is the end of the ride,
Seeing nothing but Death makes my soul open wide;
With the book in his hand, Death says with a roar,
"You alone chose to walk through my door."

Awake from the dream, I sit up and look:
I am the author of my unwritten book.
