My Winter Wish
Does heaven have an address, a specific place in time?
Could it possibly be expressed with dance, song or maybe rhyme?
Will it be here on Earth, or beyond our blue sky?
Could we ever understand, how or even why?
We have organized religion; each faction is diverse.
Right down to each core belief, chapter and verse.
Who am I to judge? I’m no better than any of you.
I would just prefer if we didn’t argue, until our faces turned blue.
As for me, I think of Heaven as a place we all go.
When our time here is up and we’ve watched our last show.
A place to be happy, with laughter all around.
Where everyone gathers, with no hate to be found.
Whatever you believe, I hope it all comes true.
If I was somehow granted a wish, I would make it for each of you.
My wish would be for peace and some happiness in the light.
Whatever would give you comfort and help you through your night.
