Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Heavenly Home

Picturing the hills green of Ireland
And sunsets of Hawaii secondhand
There are times when I think 
How one day as quick as a wink
This beautiful crazy life we know
Will be naught but an old scenario

     When we get to heaven we’ll understand the call
     Why astral beings choose to come to earth at all
     Why they need to go through the mutation
     For the challenge of being tempted by temptation
     They must get tired of being sublimely happy 
     And want to feel hunger, sadness, poverty, brutality
     Opting for a mission to experience life with birth
     To mingle somehow with other souls enduring dearth

In heaven there’ll be no line ups to see
The likes of Jesus Christ and Ghandi 
Everyone will be equals in their worth
Returning from their mission here on earth
Giving conferences each day earned
Sharing and reporting lessons learned  
Angels talking about their earthly flight
How ’twas living away from God’s light
Blessed heavenly bliss in their native state
Those memories erased to a clean slate

     In their reports, we’ll hear of things so different
     Moments of kindnesses in high times belligerent
     We’ll hear nothing short of tales of free seabirds
     Heroes who saved lives with their smile and kind words
     Mundane things that really are breaking ground
     Like wiping away tears off faces with a frown

Up in heaven we will understand about the before and afterlife
And how here on earth there is some reason for all this strife 

     We’ll know life is nothing but a fraction of a moment in all eternity
     And there is really nothing differentiating you from me
