What about Heaven? part of a book by Kathleen Long Bostrom
Though heaven’s a place
that you can’t see from here,
It says in the Bible
that heaven is near.
It always is daytime-
there never is night.
The light of God’s love
will be shining so bright.
But here’s something different,
and this is no trick:
In heaven nobody
will ever get sick!
Our hurts will be healed,
and the deaf will all hear,
the blind will see clearly,
there’s nothing to fear!
Though time has no ending,
you’ll never get bored;
For thousands of years
seem like days to the Lord.
All of God’s children,
the young and the old,
Will gather together
on streets made of gold.
And then there will be
such a grand celebration
When heaven and earth
have become one creation!
Life will be perfect,
for heaven’s the place
We’ll see God, the Father
and Son, face-to-face.
For God will be there,
everywhere that you are;
And Jesus will shine
like a bright morning star.
Heaven is wonderful,
don’t you agree?
It’s simply the best place
we ever could be!
