Heaven
For each of us, a common wonder
Where goes our soul when our bodies lie hereunder.
What happens to our eternal soul
Where on earth does it go.
Some say it simply dies with us,
some say it fades away to dust,
Some think that eternity is absurd
Of all these things I am sure you've heard.
As for myself, I do believe
That there is a Heaven Yes Indeed!
Where goes our souls to live forever
to bring our families back together.
Where is it then? Many do ask.
High above the mountain caps?
Or under water deep in the sea.
Is another place, could be!
Heaven is a very special place
Filled with love, happiness and grace.
Trying to figure where it is found
I say simply look around.
Perhaps Heaven is not a destination
Not a fantasy or invention
Not a place at all you see
It exists in everything.
It lives inside a child's face
it lives in your favorite place
It exists everywhere you feel joy
In little girls and little boys
For heaven is a state of mind
Eternal life is what you find
When you have lived to help another
To find his joy and to others
Heaven is not just for death
It's for life and happiness
If everyday you have shared love
Then your Heaven fits you like a glove!
