How far am I?
How close are you?
What GOD told us about HEAVEN?
It will be true!

In the Book of Life
Our names are on file.
When we meet again.
We will walk together
mile by mile.

As I stand there and wait.
I’ll finally get to see your smile.
When I meet you at the Golden Gates
You will be served GOD’S
Peace on a silver plate.

Although the journey
on earth will seem like miles.
Our destiny will be worthwhile.

The promise’s you made.
And mine to you.
Our love for each other will always true.
Even though we had a lot of work to do.
Through lightning and thunder
I could love no other.

There is another love in our life.
JESUS is the other man.
HE gently comforts
when no other can.
HE slowly carries us through
with a loving hand.

Stronger than yours.
Stronger than mine.
We see the light
as we walk to the line.

When we’re finally there
we wait and see.
Who will be with GOD till Eternity?
It’s not that HE picks and chooses.
HE knows who we are.
He has walked in our shoes.
And carried us many a mile.

It’s how we have lived our life.
If we win the victory or lose.
When HE calls us home we will pay our dues.

Life everlasting is what it will be.
Living our life with GOD till Eternity!

I like your poem very much.  However, I'm puzzled by a couple of lines near the end.  Maybe it's just a different wording than I'd use or a belief that's different.  It's the "till eternity" used twice.  It's my understanding we'll be with Him eternally, or throughout eternity rather than until.
God bless

AMEN!!!  A very lovely, uplifting and inspiring poem.  One I would read again and again, revealing what true beauty and love will be like when Jesus comes back to take us home to Him.  This is an excellent poem and I would give it 5* out of 5*.  Excellent and very optimistic.  Loved it a lot.
