Final Destination

Imagine the celebration and the party that ensues. Christmas time in heaven, with the one who paid our dues. A birthday party so grand with cake and wine for all. Maybe some bourbon for Milt as he stands there proud and tall. Sleigh rides in the clouds with Rudolph and old St. Nick. Think of the band that’s playing and not one soul is sick. No more heart disease, or cancer that stops us cold. Everyone is smiling and dancing on streets of gold. No more tears or heartache, just music and large dance floors. Everyone is loved with no one behind closed doors. Christmas time in heaven, that’s just the tip of what I see. Excitement and pure joy when with my friends I’ll be. The thought of such a gift just puts my brain on tilt. Thank you for this contest, and Merry Christmas Milt! 12/29/22 Christmas in Heaven: A focus on loved ones in Heaven at Christmas time Poetry Contest Sponsor: BJ Legros Kelley
