Just To Be

Where is 
that place were I can just be, 
silent and peaceful
                      Like the paced 
waves of the sea. I long for a 
space inside heaven 
                      Were I'm free, 
I'm finally home just like it was 
meant to be.
                      Friends and 
family wear their hearts on 
their sleeve, love and devotion
                      Meets our every 
need.


                              No longer 
do we  struggle, or faint or 
fight to be free, for
                      We are finally in 
the place we can just be.
                      Not a blemish 
or fault can be found within 
me, my savior has cleansed 
                      Me of sin I am 
free, to worship and praise in 
complete divinity.


                            My father 
and his son and a place made 
just for me, crown on my head
                     White robe down 
to my feet, beautiful mansion 
towers over the sea, emerald
                     Waters glisten 
diamonds for free. I can run, 
jump, even fly if need be, in 
my 
                     Wonderful home 
created just for me


                         No pain, fear 
or worries plague this heart 
inside me, and I am alive and 
                    Coexist in 
complete harmony.swung open 
are the garden gates, as they 
were  
                    Intended to be, I 
now sing, laugh and play in 
heaven where I'm free!

This is lovely Yvonne.Your words are so full of hope and joy.There is also a gentle flow to them that somehow moves me.I think life is beautiful but for some maybe its' challenges seem too much and the thoughts of peace from pain and unhappiness give them strength-something to look to.You have a lovely heart and your beautiful words can inspire.Thank you.Love June(Sylvia)
