Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Only One Day

Imagine if you could visit Heaven for only one day...
Who would you search for, and what would you say?
Can you envision the beauty beyond its streets of gold?
Would it be as glorious as in the Bible it's been foretold?

Would you search for your dearly deceased loved ones,
mothers, fathers, brothers, daughters and sons?
Would you wish to remain with them in such a divine place?
Would you fall to your knees if you saw God’s face?

Imagine such an Elysian paradise without violence or hate,
where everyone is blessedly content, and no one is irate. 
Visualize greeting your grandparents as they were in youth.
Can you conceive a realm where no lies are told; only truth?
 
If a visit I could make, I'd thank God for such an amazing gift.
Then sit upon a fluffy cloud, looking around as I slowly drift.
I would hold my Mother's hand and probably beg to stay.
Can you imagine visiting Heaven, even if for only one day?
