A gracious heart stops upon earth, takes flight There's a gate swung wide, family inside Temporary fear erased by light bright Love radiates as He comes alongside Love pervades, takes the soul to great heights Taking flight from this earth, a gracious heart Beside Jesus learns lessons of the soul Back to earth now your spirit must depart Once again on the earth, she knows her role Knowing life's divine plan, follows its chart Decades passed, the gracious heart has tried After the meeting, failures remain Love was learned, forever does abide In her life failures, His love she retains Soon, the soul will once more depart untied Contest: Three Stanza Poem In Quintain(Sicilian) Sponsor: L.

It is said that quite a few have had similar experiences. Once when they come back, they try their best to make the remaining life as fruitful as they can. Beautiful flow and great rhythm, dear Sara.

Valsa, An experience like that helps a person to change their way of thinking and living. For some who can, their change is very significant for others it is realizing that love is the key. Your visit has opened a door for more thinking. Sara

A relative of mine almost had such experience. If it were my choice, I will have to do what Jesus wants me to do, but preferably I would prefer to stay in heavenly bliss.

Victor, Yes, I fully agree. I did not want to come back. I had three children who needed me. Sara

Beautiful! Must admit, I hold a little jealousy for those that have had NDEs... :-)
