“Heaven”

a place where time
doesn’t exist
a place where it’s never
the last moment
a place that listens
plans and
releases

strength
hope
and love

having the power
to send darkness to hell
having the faith
to walk in victory
having the courage
to stand tall
and believe

in freedom
in joy
in love

so many choices
to make every day
so many moments
to be love

for God
for yourself
for others

torment may last
for a moment
but joy and peace
are forever more
