Notes About The Poem

In the Faraway

Somewhere out there in the faraway place, There’s always sunshine and extreme happiness; A dazzling rapture where our lost loved ones are enjoying, All God’s embraces for His gift of eternal life- so fulfilling. In the faraway place, so far beyond those clouds, There are no more hatred and war but full of love; No more tears, sickness, calamities and pain, All angels keep on singing for God’s glory and graces pouring like rain. So far beyond those clouds, a place so near to our heart, Where all our prayers with faith reach at once without a doubt; A perfect place to rest from all our toils and hardships, An everlasting paradise with eternal garden of joy and peace. So near to man’s heart, that place is as far as a step away, If we don’t take care of ourselves we can go right there as early as today, As we go on to our journey, let’s always be cautious on our way, Everyone wants to dwell there, although not now but someday.

I especially love your last line, "Everyone wants to dwell there, although not now but someday." that is so very true, we all want to go to heaven, but just not at this very minute! I really enjoyed reading this remarkable poem this evening! What a magnificent piece you have written here Leonora, Awesome Work!!
