Heaven
Heaven to me is... Having no earthly body With it's aches and pains age brings With gravity pulling at your body So strongly, that as you age You begin to feel so heavy That a flight of stairs seem unsurmountable That just walking is a burden And the weight from the gravitational pull Makes it seem like you are carrying An extra person on your back. That the agonies should never outweigh the ecstasies Heaven to me is Having no more emotional burdens Being free from feeling depressed Having no more concerns over Your children and their problems Some so great you know No matter how hard you try You won't be able to help them Being free from feelings of guilt That maybe you were't a good enough parent And maybe you made too many mistakes raising them Mistakes your parents made While raising you. The same mistakes you swore you'd Never make with your children Heaven to me is No longer having to worry about finances Or how will I possibly pay my bills this month? And how can I help my children pay theirs When I can't pay my own? No longer having to argue with My spouse over money No longer feeling the heavy burden A large mortgage payment brings Or worrying about the price tag A new car carries with it Or having any worldly treasures Being free from worry Heaven to me is Never again having your heart broken Never feeling so betrayed that You don't want to get out of bed That sleep seems like paradise Even tho' the nightmares Keep waking you up Or even worse you dream that You are happy with the one you love And that they love you in return Only waking to find your happiness Shattered all over again Being able to look forward to another day Heaven to me is Having a divine connection with my creator Feeling connected with every living being. Having no more fear or hate, only love Not ever having to worry about Cooking meals Or where the next meal will come from Only concerning yourself With spiritual food The kind that heals Nourishes you beyond any satisfaction You have ever known existed Longing to give love And be loved unconditionally, universally Feeling free to let your spirit soar I'd like to be there now.
