My Time In Heaven

I’m climbing up these pearl white steps, not knowing where I’m being lead, but then I look down and see someone lying in bed. I quickly turn away, but looked once more, and then I trembled and was filled with horror. That’s me I came to realize, then someone touched me and gave me a colossal surprise. I turned around at once to see what had taken place, but when I did all I saw was a gentle face. “Where am I”, I asked him with aspiration. He said you’re in heaven where love is the expectation. We walked up the steps together, then we reached the top and he asked me weather I was happy where I stood or send you elsewhere I could. I studied his face for only a minute, then I responded “believe me now, for here is a place I’ll stay, I shall tell you how; I’ll pray for those who your love they doubt, for when they come their hearts will not be without. I’ll love those I neglected, and then hopefully they will feel accepted. I will visit the weak in their time of grief and let those be in their time of peace. I’ll guarantee you this, for in you my god I strongly believe. He looked at me and said one thing “I love you so come with me to see your eternal king. We walked through a gate with a detail of doves engraved, and then I saw a sidewalk paved in the words “follow the lord with a strong heart and he will never go or part.” As we walked through the holy waters we finally came upon the God, our father. I was nervous to say what I had before, but then I thought what’s one more. Father, I pray for those your love they doubt, for when they come, their hearts will not be without. I pray for those people I neglected, hopefully then they will be accepted. I visit the weak in their time of grief and let those be in their time of peace. I guarantee you this, for in you my God, I strongly believe. He touched my shoulder and said “my son your faith couldn’t be any golder, for your love is true, I hope and pray for all those who are like you. I walked to the green pastures, then the flowers and trees, after that I thought there’s no place better to be.
