Poetry

A Better Place

I wish I was a child again,
Imagining foolish thoughts and dreams.
I want to live in a fantasy world,
Where nothing is as it seems.

I wish words could express how I feel,
My excitement and my fear,
For though I’m going to a better place,
I’m wishing you were here.

God’s taking me to heaven,
On this cloud high in the sky,
And though I know you must be hurting,
Try your hardest not to cry.

Understand that I had to leave you,
But I’ll be with you through the years.
I’ll be standing right beside you,
And I’ll wipe away your tears.

Even though I’ll be in heaven,
Don’t ever think I’m gone,
For I’ll be loving you forever,
And my spirit will live on.
