I Saw Heaven
By Lisa Noe

Up in heaven, he’s the one who gives.
I’m told that’s where he always lives.
Surrounded by angels to many to name,
Gone in a flash, I’d like to do the same.

A shape in the sky, it’s time to die.
I ask the angel “why oh why?”
She looked at me with a grand smile.
For that look I would walk for miles.

The angel spoke “please don’t be afraid,
Because all your life, you have prayed.”
I looked at her beauty and was entranced,
Where you will be, is quite advanced.

As I got closer to a big old light,
I thought how beautiful, a delight.
We got there, and there I saw,
My grandparents and my Pa.

Happiness and joy is what I could feel,
Was not a dream, it was so real.
“You can’t stay,” said a voice to me.
You’re destined to bring the world peace.
