A Glimpse of Heaven

Fragrant flowers surround my being;
I awake with the gift of seeing.
This beautiful place beyond compare,
birds and butterflies without a care.

The trees are weighed with blooming delight;
their wondrous colors surround my sight.
Nature's harmony, a gentle sway,
lamb and lion have a playful day.

A man approaches with loving scars,
exalted glory above the stars.
His brightness glows with ultimate love,
accompanied by a pure white dove.

He reveals a mansion called my home;
it shimmers and shines like polished chrome.
A feast, a wedding in this heaven,
no tainted words or corrupt leaven.

My Lord takes me to another place,
and now I see a familiar face.
The love of my life not seen in years,
ecstatic feelings engulfed in tears.

She hugs me tightly with bygone ties;
our little girl is within these skies.
A broken heart of numerous years,
she runs to me with abandoned fears.

We are united to praise our Lord;
no longer are we a severed cord.
He dries our eyes as we smile at Him;
the tree is complete with every limb.

No longer do I see lock or keys
but thankful people on bended knees.
The curse is vanquished; now we are free
to worship Him through eternity.
