A New Life, My Dear

My dear, you will enter the rebirth
You will go to the kingdom of beyond
You will triumph gloriously
You will be blessed and honored
And you will forever dwell on your former life
You will praise the god
You will devote your life to him
My dear your suffering will end
You will mourn to see your family disappear
But my dear, you will be reborn
You will be cast into the sea of darkness
You will be seized by the clouds of heaven
You will loose everything you once had
But, my dear, you will have a new life
A better life
You will flourish and live
You will forever be elated
And my dear, you will miss us
And we will miss you
But you will gain a life of freedom

A life for yourself.

I love that this is in the second person. Second person can be a very powerful tool to communicate directly to your readers. You even address them directly as "my dear", which is sweet and wonderful.

The layout of this poem is so great. I love how you used "my dear" and "you will" a lot. Nice job!
