Notes About The Poem

Heaven

In a far off realm beyond the reaches of mankind,
Therein dwells a magnificent place called Heaven.
It's beauty more glorious than anyone could find,
To reward those with faith which God has given,
Who upon death will join Christ where He is risen.

With mighty trumpet blast heard upon the earth below,
Wheat will separate from chaff and all will be made known.
Those who enter heaven's doors released from their strife,
Those who reject the Truth to Hades' gates are shown,
Yet those who endure until the end receive eternal life.

The words are clever and have a gentle and somewhat familiar pitch to help the reader release control over to the words and feel them within. Emile.

Yes, I understand. My more Biblical writes are usually the least popular, but I try to follow my heart.

Thank you, Rhonda! I took aore Biblical approach to the idea of heaven. It may not be "popular" but I want to give the topic justice based on what I believe as a Christian.
