Tears

TEARS They tell me there are no tears in heaven, I beg to differ with them. When I see my twin daughters in heaven, after so many longs years. I know there will be tears. We were never allowed, to be together on Earth, Because of so many things. Now we will be together always, No one will ever separate us again I know there will be tears When I see my Mom and Grandma, The two most beautiful women I have ever known. When I see all my friends, and relatives who have gone before. I know there will be tears. When I see my childhood idles, Roy and Dale again, When I shake Roy's hand again, and meet their family I know there will be tears. When I am standing in heaven, on that beautiful day, When all four of girls, Will be around me. I know there will be tears. There will be my daughters, Loretta and Patsy, my Goddaughter Jaymi, and my Granddaughter Kayleigh. I know there will be tears. The tears I am speaking of, Will not be tears of sorrow or pain, The tears I am speaking of, will be of joy and happiness for I will be home. I know there will be tears.

Revelation 21:3-5; Matthew 5:5. We can see them right here on earth, in the resurrection to come

Sad that you have lost so family members especially those that seemed like they were to young to go on. Thanks for sharing. In the Bible it says and talking about heaven in Revelations 21.4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[a] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Sara

I love this poem. I had a dream a few years ago that I went to heaven, but I was a child again. I saw my dad and screamed in joy "Daddy!!!" I sprinted for him, he for me, he lifted me in his arms, smashing his cheek into mine with pure love,.. pure joy...and then I awoke. I look so forward to heaven, to see my dad again, I miss him dreadfully. Happy tears, those I can imagine in heaven! What a beautiful poem. Hopefully you are inspired to write more soon!

The Bible says that he will wipe the tears from our eyes. So there will be tears at some time in heaven. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

Thank You so much for your kind words. I am not a poet I write short stories. Every once in a while God will give me a poem to write.
