A glimpse of heaven

I have always thought even in the dark times, 
That life was worth living out, at all times,
That I was blessed at most times,
And that made me feel good and sometimes very good at times.

Well I have been proved wrong at this time,
Blessings few dream of, can happen in our time,
Because something happened out of place this time,
I was touched by another soul in space and time,
And perhaps for the first time,
I let my soul respond in time,
And at least one of us got a glimpse of heaven ahead of time.

Another thing I learned this time,
I wish I had known in a past time.
Is that human souls are fragile in any time,
So, when we are touched by another soul at any time,
We must remember in time,
That just as butterflies wings are fragile at all times,
So, too are the wings of souls in their earthly times,
And our touch should be gentle at all times.
