Finding Heaven

A girl who has been in Hades for the last several months was sweeping the floor when suddenly the words "Heaven is a place we want to go..." came to mind. She jotted down her ideas in a notebook, finished sweeping, and started to write to capture the feeling of heaven she has been looking for for a long time. I post this in hope that anyone who comes across this page will find the inspiration they are seeking.

What is Heaven?

Heaven is a place

we hope to go.

What it is like there

few can know.

It is a place

we cannot see,

where we are strong,

and young

and free.

The ones we love

will meet us there

and dress us in

robes of whiteness rare.

We will not hunger,

thirst or cry,

The sun shines without

smarting the eye.

We go to rest

from earthly care

so long as we bring

no sorrow there.

Heaven, Heaven,

where will we go?

O'er plains of grain

or mounts of snow?

Heaven is a place

we hope to be,

a place on earth

we cannot see,

a place in space

we cannot spy

except for the light

in our own eye.

Heaven is with

our friends on earth

who give love daily

from our birth,

Love comes from

their tender breath

that blows until

they greet

their death.

Heaven is

a warm embrace,

a merry laugh,

a gentle face.

'Tis where we go

when life does fail

and Jesus waits

beyond a veil.
