Preparations For The Trip

Many preparations for the trip of a lifetime
are all at present like a whirlwind within my head 
excitement of seeing loved ones we’d not seen in years
for on this side they have for a long time been dead.

Surely daddy will be there to meet us when we step down
from that long sleek bird  
and momma and Kenneth and Orville to and the 
babies I was not able to bring to a live birth.

Reunions galore, shouts of laughter 
and picnics to  
oh such joy there will be honey
that’s awaiting me and you.

Yet before this trip 
we still have much work to do 
talking and praying for others 
that they too might make reservations with Him and get through.

Suddenly a voice from the cockpit says
presently we are passing by the Milky Way on the left side of the plane 
there is Mars and Jupiter and now Heaven
comes into sight as millions of miles we have gained.

Funny though, there will be no bags to pack 
for this glorious celestial flight 
as the only things we can bring with us
will be the souls we’ve won with a hard and prayerful fight.

So now, all aboard you passengers 
just keep your eyes on Him 
and walk on in forgiveness and love
and abstain from this wicked world’s sin.
