N.C. Man Posts Moving Poem About Going to Heaven on Facebook – Then Dies in Tragic Car Accident the Next Morning

A North Carolina man was killed in an early morning car accident after he lost control of his SUV causing his vehicle to go over the guardrail and flip several times on Interstate 40 in Asheville.

The driver, identified by police as 43-year-old Shane Dale Anders, was pronounced dead at the scene on Friday.

State Trooper Kelly Rhodes said Anders was "attempting to merge right and realized he didn't have room and overcorrected," according to a witness.

Anders, who reportedly died after suffering severe head trauma, was not speeding, driving drunk and was wearing his seatbelt.

However, the victim may have inadvertently left something valuable behind.

"Shane Anders" of Asheville, N.C., which several readers have reported is the same person killed in the accident, posted a moving poem on Facebook about going to heaven -- on the day before the crash:

Eternal Life

I had a dream of a place where everything was at peace.

There was no more pain, no hurting or crying,

A place where death forever ceased.

There was no more hunger or disease

Nor, nations rising up against each other.

All pride and jealousy were swallowed up in the final battle.

The King has returned, so let us all rejoice.

We all gathered there to meet

As people assembled to pay homage at His feet.

Even the creatures on earth and in heaven came to proclaim

His eternal, sweet and precious name.

There we will reign with Him forevermore,

As we crowned Him King of kings and Lord of lords.

I am surrounded by thousands and thousands

Of angelic hosts singing His praises.

Oh, what a sweet sound which will continue throughout the ages.

I turned to see our loved ones who had gone on before us

We rejoiced with each other as we joined the endless chorus.

Our new bodies, how perfect we are designed.

Oh, the wisdom and knowledge of God

How unsearchable are His ways,

There will be joy and peace throughout the eternal days.

There in that holy place forever we will be,

The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory

As waters that cover the sea.

When I woke up from that beautiful dream

I gave thanks to Jesus Christ my Savior, Who will forever reign supreme.

So, read to me the Word of Life page by page

God’s eternal love will never age.

I Corinthians 15: 51-55

Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep,

but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last

trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised

incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this

mortal must put on immortality.

So, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be

brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed

up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Romans 8: 18

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not

worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
