A City Beyond

A Story by Country Girl47

Little boy asks his daddy about heaven.

A little boy went to Sunday School
and learned about heaven,
way up there where Jesus lives.

Daddy, where's Heaven?
seven year old Jesse asked.

Why can't we see it in the sky?
Is that where people go who die?

Daddy threw his fishing line out,
sat back to relax and explain.

Jesse, heaven is a beautiful place.
where for eternity, we will remain.

But Daddy, how do we get up there?
We can't fly like the birds in the sky.

Jesse, an angel takes us up to heaven,
when it's our time to die."

Right at the pearly gates we'll enter,
streets pure as gold, with no sin waiting there.

It's for sure there will be no pain, crying,
not even hurtful words to endure.

No longer will we worry about fitting in,
reasons to feel ashamed, or ignored.

It's full of love, joy, peace, and praise,
where God built a home for you and me.

Jesse smiled and said he understood.
Now I know for sure--that's where
Grammy and Mama wait for us, way up there.

If a child can understand what heaven will be like,
why can't grownups, like you?

So simple!

cute. nice..... :) A mix between two styles, expertise in that I see. Children would understand it and get interacted with it.

No longer will we worry about fitting in,
reasons to feel ashamed, or ignored.

I loved this phrase. Great comparison. Showing the happiness in a world a lot fear. A lot see death as a curse to the living and dead, but never understood it is the channel we go through to see God and seek our real journey.

If people understood the concept of death, a lot will be changed around us.

Still there is a very thin line between comprehending the idea of death and choosing to take it as a salvation. People who falsely kill themselves or think they could do whatever they like from sins and still go to heaven are mistaken. We have to learn and teach our children that the truth of heaven is through our good deeds in life. That God has sent us to give, love, to show the true image of God on earth and then our times comes, we will be ready for our place in heaven....
