Poets' Paradise

I pray there'll be space reserved in Paradise for poets to muse and versify, To honor Him and the wonderful things awaiting us in the Great Bye and Bye! I know not what awaiteth me but I believe in the covenants He hath made, And since He promised eternal life, I approach my passing unafraid! Placed No. 6 in Carolyn Devonshire's "Perception of Heaven" Contest - Mar 2012

My dear, We have poetry soup to give us Heaven, I think, a poet alone gets the honor of feeling Heaven before reaching Heaven. Thanks a lot.
