Nearer To Heaven

I was nearer to Heaven then As I trespassed cloud and sky-- And I will travel there again, When next I chance to fly. How grand the heady heights achieved, To Heaven, near or far-- Of greatness I no more deceived, For how very small we are!

Hi Mel. How very small we are but divine in the overall picture that God has created. So overwhelming is that picture. Thanks for sharing, my friend.... Robert.

Hi Casarah. The other day I listened to the song about angels--the one you recommended. What a difference a year makes--not even. But, I fell for a beautiful lady living in Pennsylvania, and for me (the crazy, fool romantic), that was enough, and I boarded a plane. It could have been a reality TV show. I'll try and post here now and then, but you can see my poems on FB. Bfn xoxo

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I'll try and post here and there, but I've been posting my writes on FB, even as I work on a poetry manuscript for Solstice Publishers. All the best, Mel :)
