Upon a door of gold she knocked, was met with open arms
No questions, just acceptance was the way
The ones she’d loved, who’d passed away, with smiles of warmth were there
And with her now forever, they would stay

The memories of her loved ones, brought sadness to her face
Then taken by the love that was around
With joy, she now did wander, the land of faith and love
The place where every answer could be found

She looked upon their faces, angelic, she near felt
The pain of living, dying had all passed
A choir, many voices, all sang their welcome song
An eternal spell, all lasting, had been cast

The kingdom had a window, through which she now could see
She looked upon the earth, the place she’d been
Her hand and heart could touch her kin, and guide them on their way
A place of greater grandeur, that girl had never seen

Days have no existence, nor nights that hide the light
A paradise of love where all are free
Where many visit, just to stay
Where one day we will be

This is a beautiful poem and I'm sure it's even more lovely than we can imagine when we go to be with Our Father.

Thank you for your reply Dulcinea, I hope that we can share many more images of Heaven in our poetry, you, I an many others. Our place of hope and peace, which waits our arrival when time is right.
