Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Imagine If You Can

I can't imagine
A world without heaven
Especially when I look at the sea
In this world of so many lonely people
My Savior brings such comfort to me

Can you imagine
A world without heaven
Is that really what you would want it to be?
Like you I don't care about religion
I prefer a relationship that sets me free

"You may say I'm a dreamer"
I say to you there are far too few
Let us join our hearts together
Is not that what we all want to do?
In this world of many hardships
We can escape the darker blue

Forget about temporary possessions 
If we try we truly can
Brotherhood is more important
Jesus teaches us to love our fellow man
Heaven's revealed when we are loving
Imagine please, I know you can!

Inspired by John Lennon's "Imagine".

For Silent One's "Music to my ears" poetry contest.

Tim Smith July 31, 2015 at 10:17 PM Congrats Richard. That song is so inspiring. Richard Lamoureux August 1, 2015 at 8:01 AM I like the music and the way he artfully sang it but for me the message never felt quite right. It presumes God is the problem rather than the people who take what is pure and distort it.

Kp Nunez July 28, 2015 at 10:14 AM Forgive me Rick, for not giving your poem the careful read I was wont to do. I was distracted when I first commented.

Richard Lamoureux July 28, 2015 at 5:43 PM Amen to that Kim.
