I think about you
quite often
you now
in your warm gold flowing robes
brushing the hair of the wind
while joyfully arguing the many
important points of Heaven
what immaculate grace shall be
expressed today
what finer form of wisdom
shall ascend the better conscience view
or just which soul is prepared for
departing
and alas
how many souls are about to be returning
I can almost smell the soft sweet scents
of the here after
I even smelled them in a dream once
it was like purity of such crisp
winter air
the best that the here has so far had
to offer me
I so wish again that I could behold God
I miss him so
today in fact
yet right just yet
I don't want to die
I want to live just as long as I am
suppose to
for I want to see what I can make of this
latest installment I have been given
the lessons I will learn while here
I shall be glad to carefully go over all
its aspects
once I've crossed
in constant awe
I repeatedly contemplate
just how astounding
the ultimate reality for us all must
truly be
and on a sillier almost child like note
I even wonder just what color house
must the Father be preparing for me
I hope its forest green and ever so fine
because frankly I just love forest green
and the naturalist in me must surely
live on...................
