Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

Save a place for me in heaven
Where the sky is forever blue
Where nothing bad can touch us
And love lives on in me and you

Spare me from this sorrow
For I have endured so much pain
It's time to stop this fighting
For ultimately no one will gain

Give me fields of green to run through
Allow my spirit to be set free
Far away from all this horror
Is where I desperately want to be

A place that's safe for our children
Is all I wish for at this time
Has life simply lost all meaning?
For there seems no reason or rhyme

Comfort me in my sadness
Hold my hand through times of grief
So many images will forever haunt me
My mind is in total disbelief

A world of love and compassion
Filled with peace and harmony
That's the place I've always dreamed of
So won't you come there now with me?

* * *

We are all angels with only one wing......
we can fly only by embracing each other.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, this is sooooooo beautifully heartfelt, sweet friend, all your words are flowing with love in all its purity and the ending really touched my heart as together we all can become angels and fly to find that place above the clouds! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and the wonderful artwork you're sharing from Josephine is quickly becoming one of my favorite painters, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sue,
Well said and hugs to you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Sue, Let us embrace each other; it's the only way to save our world.

This poem is definitely a keeper and so beautifully written. You have such a caring and emotional heart. I just love your description of Heaven; if only we could have this here on Earth.

Hugs, Marti

Sue - you write well of the metaphor of heaven - lots of things to cause us to stop and ponder these days - guess the heaven metaphor was invented for those times when just too much is going on that we can't handle - loved your poem - Paul

Oh Sue! Let's join hands and soar off to Heaven right now!
"A place that's safe for our children
Is all I wish for at this time"
I wish for this with all my heart! May we one day find Heaven on earth, and if not, well I'll meet you at the Pearly Gates!!
