Take me to heaven once more

When into your life an angel comes...smile

 

 

 

 

Take me to heaven once more

 

 

So precious this love that my heart does confide

Warm as the touch of your skin

Bright as the joy that does beam from inside

Filling my cup to the brim

 

You are the thoughts in my mind everyday

Visions of beauty you send

Caring and kindness on constant display

Oh but to know you again

 

Many the years that I stood all alone

Wondering what would become

Of this my life, on a path all its own

Searching for my only one

 

Down from the heavens my eyes did perceive

An angel of wonder so fine

Standing before me so hard to believe

This day, for this angel is mine

 

Open thy wings for I want to come in

If you will have me this way

All as your own for a lifetime begins

Until the end of all days

 

Yours is the love that I’ve dreamed from afar

Here in my heart it now lies

Bringing a peace that does shine like a star

Up in the clearest of skies

 

Take me; oh take me, for I am to give

Happiness true it does pour

Love me unending as long as I live

Take me to heaven once more

This can be read from a religious or a romantic view point. Both are equally important. I love the picture that accompanies your poem, I believe it is from Angels in America. A beautiful job jack.

The discovery of love as a religious experience, gives this a romantic appeal that will undoubtedly reach many. The love that you desire, if found can only transport us to heavenly places. Classic.
