The Forever Beauitful Place

The Forever Beautiful Place

 

The gate sits open,
so she journeys inside.

She is joyful
of what she’ll find.

 

She’d heard of this place--
this wondrous place she’d dreamt to be.

Entering the gate of pearl,
she sees what she believed.

 

Tears fill her eyes--
tears of pure joy, not of sorrow.

Stretched out before her,
endless time, no tomorrow.

 

Love and joy she feels
as she surveys the place of her dreams.

Finally, she’s here
to enjoy all eternity.

 

She suddenly notices
that she has left here cares behind.

She’d shed worries and anxiety
that had consumed her life.

 

All her existence
has led her to the Lord’s embrace.

She is now where she belongs…
in The Forever Beautiful Place.

A wonderful and hopeful poem shared dear Melinda.
"All her existence

You are welcome dear Melinda.

I believe it was the Apostle Paul said he saw and heard things to wonderful to speak not having the words. What I see here is an attempt to put into verse that same experience. Appreciate the courage to speak your faith. Nice piece of work - carl

What is your fixation with the after-life and death?

We are all gonna die someday... that's for sure.

Isn't this life good enought? Do some of you got some sort of death wish or suicidal impulses?

I don't heaven in the damn after-life!

I want it now! Here! While I'm still breathing, alive, kicking, feeling, loving, hating...

Leave death for the dead people!

Soon... we shall all join them.

Why even care about such a thing, while we are still... alive?

You know what? Maybe you are right...

Maybe I should just pack my bags and leave all this for good!

It would probably be the best for me... in a selfish way...

But God... and I ain't talking about no Jesus here!!!

Keeps telling me... there is still more work to be done.

So I keep on working... lately like a damn workaholic!!!

Please... after-life? lol

I worry about that when I get there.

We are all intitled to have our own faith...

And we all have the right... to agree in disagreeing...

Sometimes or most of the time.

You say we are all entitled to have our own faith..... so why get so worked up over my poetry??

I am delighted that there is life after death. And yes for everyone whether they believe or not. Jesus is the way to the Father whether you like/believe it or not. I dare you to try Him out. Seek and pray. What would it hurt?
Chat with you later.....you know.... when you comment on my next poem. :)

I don't get worked up...

I speak freely, share my oppinion...

Doesn't bother me in the least...

But if you send me read requests and I read it...

I can comment on it...

And we can always agree... in disagreeing.

I look at the world... all the pain, the blood, the suffering, all the martyrs...

Some of you just make me laugh...

You really do...

;)

[The_Ancient_Rock]

Nothing but pain... and death... and misery everywhere...

So sorry... I don't get along with beautiful fairy-tales.

You have your faith... fine.

Well... I have mine!

[Melinda McQueen]

Oh but it''s so not a fairy tale...look up Jesus in history books, and no, i'm not referring to the Bible. He was a real men who walked this earth so you and I could get to heaven because He died for us so we could to heaven.the devil messed things up by deceiving Eve. he told her to eat of the apple or whatever the fruit was after God said not to eat of the tree o knowledge of good and evil.. and because she did, the devil got a foothold in the world. God doesn't create suffering and all the bad things in this world, the devil does.

Yet God gets the blame.

Blessed be! :)
How was your day? lol

Girl if someone ever walked on water it was ICE.

People even today walk over water that is frozen all the time! No big deal!

You're trying to convert me or something?

Or other people?

Have you lost your mind?

Sorry... we are no longer friends and you will be blocked.

That's what happens when you push someone around too much.

Your beliefs are your beliefs...

And... it's all lies... Say I!!!
