Almost Home

I heard a shout and my vision was summoned to the skies, To majestic colors that dazzled my eyes. The sound of royal trumpets rang out so clear, Accompanied with angels melodious voices that captivated my ears. I started to rise with such a pace, I could feel Gods glory upon my face. I knew this day I was going home at last, As I was jettisoned above the clouds so very fast. Then my feet sat down upon a golden path that would lead my way, To my eternal home on this glorious day. There it stands, the most beautiful pearl laden gate I’ve ever seen, And a little beyond is home so perfect and so serene. Gabriel was there to send me back, he said I was to continue to share my love for the Lord, It was not a request and leaving here was so very hard. Then when I awoke, people and monitors were franticly moving all about, But I was unable to move, and I tried to scream but I was unable to shout. Then life started returning to that old shell of mine, And someone shouted he’s alive, a miracle, I thought this guy must be out of his mind. For I know what had happened was simply Gods will, That I hadn’t quite finished fulfilling our deal.
