If as God says you forgive forty times seven, that’s four hundred and ninety steps up the staircase to heaven.Quote - Poet’s own Staircase The staircase to Heaven is surely blessed Leading us into holy righteousness Although we may sway and swagger at times God waits in the wings to steer us in line. Ride storms and trials with your head held high Follow the staircase rising beyond sky The stairs lead us to our eternal home Whatever it takes, where're we roam Always have that staircase in heart and mind Relish life on earth, be loving and kind For you it will be an effortless climb In due time, taking a step at a time. The staircase to heaven anticipate It‘s taking you to the Lord's pearly gates Opening wide will come as no surprise For all who have lived gracious faithful lives. *+*+* 8th April 2023 Writing Challenge - 'S' Words, Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Word choice - no. 10 Staircase
