Heaven's Gate

When you die and go to heaven;
  your material things will be left behind,
  Your house, car and money won't go;
  you'll only take your heart, soul and mind.

  You will be asked about your mortal life;
  not about what you acquired along the way,
  How loving, kind and giving you were;
  did you ever take the time to pray?

  Whether you lived like a king or pauper;
  it really doesn't matter in the end,
  If you were rich in love and goodness;
  to heavenly judgement you will triumphantly ascend.

This is so right on. People need to be aware that all the treasure we seek on earth is nothing compared to the treasures in Heaven with our Saviour. A very good write. R.M.
