Heaven Is For Real

White seraphs sing in four-part harmony
Their hymn a song of hope for humankind
Angelic voices join the reverie
Supernal music soothes each heart and mind

To live each day in light that never dies
To see Almighty God just as He is
To know the secrets hidden from men's eyes
To feel Jah's love and know that you are His

A growing horde promotes belief as lame
Such skeptics only trust what can be seen
These unbelievers' doubts will lead to shame
When Christ returns upon this earthly scene

With eyes of faith we see beyond the veil
With lips of praise we spread the holy tale

Dr. Ivan Edwards Date: 6/18/2025 1:55:00 PM This sonnet is stunningly evocative—a seamless blend of faith, celestial imagery, and profound reflection. The four-part harmony of seraphs paints a vivid picture of divine reverence, while the contrast between skepticism and unwavering faith gives the piece depth and urgency. The closing lines offer a powerful resolution, reminding the reader that belief transcends the visible. This poem is a true testament to hope, conviction, and the promise of eternity. Love it!!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/17/2025 10:43:00 AM You are so right, Tom. Too many unbelievers today. They are in for a rude awakening
Mickey Grubb Date: 6/17/2025 8:47:00 AM Tom, every line carries a sense of devotion, making your sonnet both a profound reflection and an uplifting hymn for the soul. Beautiful blend of faith, hope, and divine promise. You probably have a winner there, my friend.
Debjani Mitra Date: 6/17/2025 7:56:00 AM Nice composition....The concept of heaven the way it has evolved for all religions is more or less on same lines... True it only preserves hope and faith
Sara Kendrick Date: 6/16/2025 1:30:00 PM I like this one about faith, Tom. The Bible says no man has seen God and lived, but they saw Jesus and lived because it was a human form they saw. We will no longer be in a human form that can actually see God, or will we be in Spiritual form that can see God or will we only see Jesus. Sometimes these kinds of questions run around up there in the ruts in my brain. Sara K
Victor Buhagiar Date: 6/16/2025 7:33:00 AM A superlative sonnet. We will see God only when we eventually arrive in Heavenly bliss. Your talent is immense.
Anne Winter Date: 6/16/2025 6:35:00 AM Dear Tom, beautiful! Your poem weaves together themes of hope, faith, and divine love. The imagery of white seraphs singing in harmony is stunning. The contrast between skeptics and those with eyes of faith adds depth. Great job capturing the essence of spiritual longing! Have a great day! Best, Anne :)
Valsa George Date: 6/16/2025 5:09:00 AM We live in a world of growing agnosticism and skepticism. They defy everything that can't be seen with naked eye. They will only learn with experience. No one can convince them. You have created a celestial ambiance, so enamoring and peaceful! Lovely Sonnet...
Maria Williams Date: 6/16/2025 4:33:00 AM Dear Tommy,what a beautiful and uplifting poem! The image of white seraphs singing in harmony really stayed with me — it feels both peaceful and powerful. I love how you gently remind us of the strength of faith and the light it brings, even when the world feels doubtful....Hugs
Tahira Parveen Date: 6/15/2025 10:13:00 PM Truly captivating, well written Tom.
Brandy Nicole Date: 6/15/2025 7:22:00 PM Heaven is a place that God has prepared for believers. My heart rejoices knowing this truth. My best to you, Tommy. :) Hugs, Brandy

John Hamilton Date: 6/15/2025 11:33:00 AM Well said Tommy, I always wonder how an invisible spirit being can "see" God as he is. Enjoyed very much, should do well in the contest.
Heidi Sands Date: 6/15/2025 8:23:00 AM Very nice poem Tom. I enjoyed this today :)

Jacqueline Elston Date: 6/15/2025 7:23:00 AM 'White Seraphs sing in four- part harmony' A glimpse of Heaven... beautiful written sonnet Tom. J.
Keith D Trestrail Date: 6/14/2025 10:52:00 PM I bet that Indian dude in Seat 11A is a believer now if he wasn’t before. God certainly works in mysterious ways. The war on Christianity continues so we must be soldiers for God and fight the good fight. Great message.
Vanya Evangeline Date: 6/14/2025 8:25:00 PM Exemplary work, Tom! Christ's return will indeed remove all doubt
