Awaiting the Apocalypse

I'm not scared of the Apocalypse;
I believe we each get to choose
Between what we gain on our paths,
And that which we will each lose.

I can't even imagine my children
Choosing a path to perdition;
I have taught them that salvation
Is each of our personal decision.

It is okay to leave my body,
To rot and burn in eternal hell.
There are parts that will be saved,
Parts that, in each of them, dwells.

Perhaps the things I did that caused hurt
Will exceed those that gave them worth.
It is not for me to know the balance,
Or control what happens after I'm dirt.
