Feeling Heaven!
I hope that there’s a heaven to go to when we die,
so full of joyous laughter we never need to cry,
but when we talk of heaven I sometimes hesitate,
because a small voice tells me it’s somewhere I might hate..
I really don’t think floating round all day with harp in hand,
and singing churchy songs as I go flying over land,
is quite the sort of thing I want for all eternity,
I want to do the things that here on earth make me happy!
I want to smell the sweetness of the flowers growing free,
intoxicated with their scent and fabulous beauty.
To hear the laughter of my kids when they all safely play,
and know when they come running home that I will hear them say
‘We love you mum, can we play out for just a little more?’
and ‘cause I love them ,I respond ‘A little longer? ..sure!
To know love and to give it -just as well as to receive
are all the things I love to do, so that’s why I believe
that all these things were given me to use whilst here on earth,
the senses to experience earthly things for all they’re worth.
If going to heaven means that all my senses magnify,
Then I’ll be more than happy to kiss this life goodbye!

Hey LODIGIANA!!....I love all the smiles appearing on my face as I read this..... and the serious side of the intent as well......I think it the kind of question that, for me, is answered in simplistic terms..... like, I feel that life is a blessing in so many ways, and then the next day think of this life as the Hell the bible speaks of.......I find that it is most beautiful when I consider the fact that it is the 'complicated beauty' that leaves us wondering about the heaven you refer to. I suppose I am content to know that I was able to Love as much as I have in this world!!......thanx for sharing this dear poet sister!!...... Tons-O -Stars!!..... your poetry is ever-the-pleasure to read!!....... your friend and admirer!!.....T xo ???✳✳♥♥
Hi Tony...this is a question that often rears it head and sets me wondering...I am certainly no harp player although I might fair well in the heavenly choir!!! I felt that I needed a little humour injected into my writing just lately and wanted others to maybe be a little amused also. Love reading your comments they always make me look at life a little more lucidly..thank you for that my dear brother Poet! xx

Great Thought provoking write. being a person torn between pure fantasy and logic, I can say. My thoughts are, if God was wise enough to place us here on earth with all its ups and down, the tremendous joy and love, why would he fail to make heaven even more? I choose to believe the harps and streets of gold are what appealed to the people of the period of the writer. I believe the love you have for your children and they for you will only be magnified and enriched. I'm willing to bet your gonna love it.
Just my 2 cents.
Loved the read, loved your feelings for your babies.

My dear John, you brought the biggest smile to my face as I am totally in agreeance with your thoughts on heaven..that is just how I feel and the love we build here on earth I am hoping will be reflected in how we experience it in heaven..I am loving your words and thank you for the positivity they have generated..look forward to seeing you there in the distant future my valued poet friend!,xx
