Journey To Heaven

Tried many times to get back there,
at all different stages of life.
Countless times beyond all rhymes,
for heaven I needed my slice.

Lost in the clouds as a child,
dreaming of wonder-divine.
Hard it's been- flesh, skin and bones,
with angels, I wished to align.

Really don't know how I did it...
persistence indeed played a part.
Innocent-means, spiritual-genes,
or the goodness within my heart.

Though I did it, I got there- I did,
then collapsed upon my arrival.
The angels surprised that I got there,
healed me for my survival.

No man is able to visit,
for this is a sacred place-heaven.
The only reason I got there...
truthfully- 'cause I am a woman.

Then,  I opened my eyes it was morning.
was back here, they sent me back here !
For I am human my time is not over...
flesh, skin and bones and a tear.
