I'm counting on heaven! ( poem )
When I was just a little girl,
my parents spoke of a place
that was out of this world.
It was far beyond the twinkling
stars,
over the moon and way past
Mars.
They told me it was more beautiful
than any place I had seen,
Where you can ride on a cloud
that taste like ice cream.
You won’t need a bike or a car to get around,
nor use your feet to ever touch the ground.
You’ll have beautiful wings of gold and white,
your spirit soars as you take flight.
All the desires of your heart will finally come true,
no more sadness, fear or feeling blue.
Your family and friends that have traveled to this place,
will be the first to greet you with their warm embrace.
You’ll share stories of days long since past,
marveling at how it all went by so fast.
You are more happier here than you’ve ever been,
in this land your real life truly begins.
All of life's questions will be made perfectly clear,
all the good that you do will bring you there.
To pet a lion and brush his mane,
All of the animals are perfectly tame.
To swim with the dolphins off the coast of the Key’s,
frolic with the monkey’s and dance in the trees.
You can take trips to places you had longed to see,
watching the sunsets in Africa is where I will be.
Soaring over mountains, lakes and streams,
fulfilling all of my lifelong dreams.
I’m counting on this heavenly place in the sky,
so, please don’t be sad when I say my last goodbye!
I'm happy here soaring and free;
Just look past the moon that's where you'll find me!

Hey, that was wonderful!
I will meet you there,
Where the rays from God's light flows through your hair,
Let us all pray that we arrive there real soon,
to that Glorious place,
just past the moon...
All see you in the rapture. God bless you and all of your followers too. I'll be praying for you!

Sending you sincere Easter greetings from Colin and his cats at lake erie time ontario canada 9:03pm
Great poem, I want to go there. Thank you.
Delightful. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I think, you brought it alive.
wildove, I read that you want this on your prayer card, when you die.
Since this is based on the beautiful words of comfort from your Father,
I'm sure it had great meaning to you.
Have you made it down to visit your father, yet?
We had a cool week, but it is going to be in the 80's next week.
Thank you for sharing this poem with us.

I am sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I know I can come on strong and I have no problem confronting issues head-on. Although I am a passionate man and have many deep convictions, sometimes I am momentarily blinded and miss a precious jewel in my path and for that I am sorry.
I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed this stellar poem very much. In fact, it reminds me very much of the things I write about. As they say, "Brilliant minds think alike". I don't know, but perhaps we are two birds of a feather.
Anyway, voted up, interesting, awesome, useful and downright beautiful. Thank you for giving us all a lift and I will stop by for some more inspiration later on. I hope you don't mind.
May the God of Peace be with you - C.J. Sledgehammer

wildove5,
I shared similar fears about death/dying when I was little, to the point that it kept me from sleeping at night. Unfortunately, no one offered the same story you were told; what a difference that could've made!
That would be beautiful on a prayer card; what a wonderful idea.
this gave me smile eyes.
Wonderful,;voted up and shared.

It would be lovely wouldn't it? I hope it happens. Beautiful words and a lovely way for me to begin my day.
Not hardly, he is our biker Chaplain, but that was very funny, you made me smile this morning. THANKS I am not worthy.
You love, never cease to amaze me. Would you mind if I share this with Chaplain Virgil? your humble plumber
wildove5,
Where can I get a ticket? This is absolutely beautiful! You really have a way of making heaven seem like a much desired location. This would be the perfect poem for teaching kids about heaven. So beautiful. Thank you! Thumbs up and beautiful!
