My Time In Heaven
I’m climbing up these pearl white steps, not knowing where I’m being lead,
but then I look down and see someone lying in bed.
I quickly turn away, but looked once more, and then I trembled and was filled
with horror.
That’s me I came to realize, then someone touched me and gave me a
colossal surprise.
I turned around at once to see what had taken place, but when I did all I saw
was a gentle face.
“Where am I”, I asked him with aspiration. He said you’re in heaven where
love is the expectation.
We walked up the steps together, then we reached the top and he asked me
weather I was happy where I stood or send you elsewhere I could.
I studied his face for only a minute, then I responded “believe me now, for here
is a place I’ll stay, I shall tell you how; I’ll pray for those who your love they doubt,
for when they come their hearts will not be without. I’ll love those I neglected, and
then hopefully they will feel accepted. I will visit the weak in their time of grief and
let those be in their time of peace. I’ll guarantee you this, for in you my god I
strongly believe.
He looked at me and said one thing “I love you so come with me to see your
eternal king.
We walked through a gate with a detail of doves engraved, and then I saw a
sidewalk paved in the words “follow the lord with a strong heart and he will never
go or part.”
As we walked through the holy waters we finally came upon the God, our
father.
I was nervous to say what I had before, but then I thought what’s one more.
Father, I pray for those your love they doubt, for when they come, their hearts will
not be without. I pray for those people I neglected, hopefully then they will be
accepted. I visit the weak in their time of grief and let those be in their time of
peace. I guarantee you this, for in you my God, I strongly believe.
He touched my shoulder and said “my son your faith couldn’t be any golder, for
your love is true, I hope and pray for all those who are like you.
I walked to the green pastures, then the flowers and trees, after that I thought
there’s no place better to be.
