I walk upstairs
through some silver clouds
white gates I see
before a glittering door
I knock upon this glittering pearl white door

Lookie here at what I see
its peace and harmony
nothing more will make me wait
to pass through these glittery pearl white gates

I walk along, the clouds again
to speak to one they call my lord
I take the tour of his land

Lookie here at what I see
a shopping mall up in the sky
a million angels flutter by
a hotel to the left a park to the right
a billion houses and a rain machine

angels looking downward from the sky
to the world they used to know
prayers can be heard from all around

As Ginger awaits her Grandfather
She dances and prances
Her excitement grows
Her heart begins to pound
For today she will be joined
By her Daddy's Dad

She will give him a kiss
And a hug to last forever
Yet she will cry tears of last words spoken
Although they can share memories
They will wait for more
The day when Daddy will come home

(original poem Heaven has been extended)

(big hugggsssssss) Oh kellie, my prayers continue to go out to your dad and his family as I send angels to guide him, as I know their love will awlays shine on him and when the time is right he will see them all again! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kellie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Um, Larry isn't my Dad, but I wouldn't mind it one bit if he was. Actually he would be an awesome Dad. But really Larry is just a really great friend of mine. He is truly an amazing person and my heart goes out to him. My prayers are with him.

Godbless

Sweet, Kellie,I like the images and thoughts here. I try to apply them to my Grandmother, who I lost a few months ago. I'm sure Larry will be consoled with these words.

I cannot be certain as to what is in heaven with the exception of the God is there and Jesus is there, our loved ones as well. As for shopping malls? Maybe.We won't know until we get there.
