A Poem About Heaven

Do you ever wonder about heaven

And what it’s like to be there?

Are there really streets that are paved with gold?

Do we really fly through the air?

Do we get to see all our loved ones?

Will our dogs and our cats be there, too?

Will we get to do all the things we enjoy?

Will we truly rest all the day through?

There are so many things that I’d like to know

So many things I cannot fathom

Will every good God-fearing person be there

Going all the way clear back to Adam?

Seems like it could get kind of crowded

An eternal population explosion

And I would assume that it’s gonna get bigger

As more and more people are chosen

So many questions and so few answers

We wish God would tell us some more

But some clues from the Bible are all that we have

Till our time comes to walk through that door.

So let’s focus, then, on the things that we know

The things we know that the Lord told us

We know that we get there by faith in the Christ

And the mercy and grace that God shows us

We know it’s the place where God truly is

Where we’ll see him with no shield or filter

We know it’s where everything is perfect

With nothing out of place or off-kilter

And if God is there, then we know there is love

And peace and joy that’s forever

With no worries, no fears, no frightening storms

We won’t even have to worry about weather

We may not get wings or float on the clouds

But we know that our faith is the test

And if we pass we’ll be with God forever

And forever’s how long we’ll be blessed.
