My Glimpse of Heaven
I'm running so hard
My hearts beating out of my chest
I can hear every single beat in my ears
As I'm grasping for every little breath
The branches of the trees
Slapping on my skin
Cutting like knives
As it slowly begins to rain
I hit the ground that is cold and wet
As I trip over my own feet
I am so scared to death
By what is closing in on me
Suddenly I see an opening
I see sunlight cutting through the trees
Fastly I come upon a tiny church
Sat back on a paved parking lot off of a busy street
Frantically I run up to it
Knowing I'll find some help
Instead it's all boarded up
I'm here alone, all by myself
I climb inside a window
Much to my surprise
A single white casket
Lays alone in the inside
I feel a presence come up behind me
I turn only to see
My sweet Lord Jesus
Saying it isn't time to leave
I still have more chores to do
Many lives to touch
He saw I was in danger so he brought me here
Because he loves me so very much
I go back to the window
To take a little peek
There's no longer a parking lot
But a field of flowers and a tiny creek
The colors are not of this world
So vivid, to say the least
I saw the golden gates of Heaven
Around a mountain side
I was so amazed but sad
I wasn't aloud to see inside
He took me in his arms and wept
And told me at a later time
The next thing I remember was feeling I was being pulled
Then the amazing light people have spoke of all around the world
It was so bright to look at, but never hurt my eyes
This was just a glimpse what comes after you leave this life
Before I was a skeptic, non believing through and through
But the stories that are heard all around the world everyone of them are true
I got to touch Gods face and see Heaven
I came back from that beautiful place I no longer need more proof
