Heaven

In this poem, the concept of heaven is described from the point of view which angels might adopt. Also, how would they perceive our world below?

In heaven the angels sing,

pluck their harps,

and flap their wings,

 

Blessings fall to those below,

mere mortals,

with lost souls,

where no angel would seek to go,

 

And so they stay in heaven,

archangels and their brethren,

come what may,

they will not stray,

 

From helping people

night or day,

during the dark,

or a misty haze,

 

Sometimes they marvel,

at sparkling seas,

and crystal fountains,

they love to tease,

 

And play amongst the snowy peaks,

of mountains great,

or hills so steep,

such natural beauty they hope to keep,

 

Not waste their time,

while mortals sleep,

their zest for life,

shall never cease.....

This is such a delightful piece of writing.. it would make a wonderful prayer or inspirational poem for young children. There are so many sweet phrases: 'Sometimes they marvel, at sparkling seas, and crystal fountains,
they love to tease, ' There's a real sense of joy here too. Thank you so much for sharing.
