"heaven"

Our heavenly father came to bring his children home.
He said those who sinned are left here to roam.
Forgive me father for lieing,stealing,useing Gods name in vain.
Hurting all the ones I love and causeing them so much pain.
I prayed to our heavenly father please don't leave me here.
My thoughts I will change I will carry no more fear.
I wish my time on earth would have been filled with more love.
Because I'ld never came here I'ld went straight to heaven above.
                                    Teresa Skyles
