Does The Soul Live On

Some claim the human soul lives forever who knows perhaps that well might be
That at time of death the soul leaves the body the body bound for a cemetery
The soul lives in another body though many does not see it that way
Those who believe in a paradise beyond the sky for eternal happiness pray
I've never had an epiphany or out of body experience so of such things i cannot claim to know
But when i ask myself does the soul live forever the answer is who knows maybe so
But i do truly believe in karma to such a belief i relate
For karma it is truly Universal from life we reap what we create
And as for the soul we all have one but whether the soul too does die
That is something i wish i could answer a question for one more enlightened than i
We are not meant to live forever we are mere mortals after all
Sometime to the scythe of the reaper all air breathing life forms must fall
And death is a relief for many of their life problems they are set free
But does the soul live on forever that is too big a question for me?
