Heaven (As I See It)

Behind the lines of grace A mighty river flows Down the shores of heaven’s street Pathways paved with gold A place so many doubt exists But I know this to be true For in a dream one fateful night The colors showed brightly through Many questions left unanswered Asked each night in prayer The mind cannot comprehend This place beyond compare One night down on my knees The question simply asked To show me a picture of this place called Heaven Where there is everlasting life Nothing what I had pictured Could prepare for this place I saw the souls of loved ones Passed on so full of grace No wings were present on no man No halos lined with gold Just happy souls praising God No dancing around a throne People of every likeness Sang a welcoming song to those Entering the pathway to heaven’s gates Where their soul would hurt no more But the one face that I did not see Was the face of the God I served His presents though was all around Each person did behold I awoke that morning at peace with life For the place that God had shown Many questions now were answered About life and love and home In the end amazed you will be At the place that God’s prepared Believe it or not Heaven is a place Look around you’re already there

This is beautiful, and yes, I believe in many ways we are already there--like the sky, the different colors from morning till night, the ocean and its waves, the trees, the birds, flowers and all of nature. His beauty is all around, and it is up to us to enjoy and take it all in. Thank you for sharing. Carolyn Henderson
