To Heaven We Have To Go

To Heaven We Have to Go or Hi Ho Where is the Dairy Oh Loved him with all of his ambience Which often had wished I could absconce Wh happened to be handsome to the hilt Like a frustrated flower, could make me wilt. Was becoming with smile which was contagious Almost as broad as from here to Uranus Style was firm and for nothing ever did waiver And I forever wanted to be in his favor. God who often harbors self in heaven above Who we willfully worship and always love He has developed a fallacy while growing older Likes going around wearing a chip on his shoulder. About problem, I warned him and also behooved Once everything to heaven, you have moved I had hoped that you would not ever mind Leaving all that I own of mine behind. In last days, he became meaner and meaner While ending up taking us both to the cleaners And when he finally in heaven had arrived From our diligent divorce nothing had survived. So when I said that you had become a mystic You went to heaven and was totally ballistic Now why would you want to go up there Where no one smokes and they never swear. Can you imagine some people having to go there. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran

Hi, James, I feel the hurt in your poem. Writing is a great way to get it all out. You use irony and that is one way to do it. Most of us experience loss of one kind or another. I lost my son to CF at the age of 13. I know he's in heaven and I'll see him again one day. I'm new here and am just skipping around reading other people's poems. I'm glad I found yours.

Jim, Look like we all have something to look forward to, that is, not discounting the fact that some of us might actually end up in the "infernal region." And so, "It Pays to Be Good"!!! I don't think either place is really for me. I really like your ironic message here. All the Best!! Gary Bateman
