Heaven's Crown -A Poem of Comfort

As a loved one passes from life to death, we feel sorrow! It is words received from an Angel that as one lives on Earth, each act of love is remembered by another jewel placed in Heaven's Crown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

This poem is my interpretation of the verses in scripture that tell us that after death, we shall receive a crown of glory!

Heaven’s Crown

While taking a stroll of remembrance last night,
I was blessed with a wondrous Heavenly sight--
Startled, and perplexed I was of what was above,
Until skies brilliantly sparkled with God's love.

Stars twinkled, and an angel of God spoke to me,
"Do not grieve for the person you search to see.
Ones absent from life are in God's care e'remore,
No longer recognized in humanly form as before.

The glow that you see shining on ever bright
Are jewels in Heaven's Crown emitting love light.
Gems illuminate supreme love mankind did show,
As deeds of kindness to others one did bestow.

There are beautiful stones set in crowns of majesty
In recognition of unselfish acts shown to humanity.
Each time a kindness is extended to one in need,
Another jewel is added as love does intercede.

Countless are gems, various colors and hues rare,
To commemorate gifts given from a spirit of care.
Your beloved are tucked now 'neath safe wings--
Hope of happiness, vision of tomorrow, joy rings.

Ever keep alive the message received in this walk.
Memory of this night as with an angel you did talk.
Remember well my words spoken with love to you.
Do not grieve, acts of love shall receive their due.

Someday you'll stroll together with loved ones again,
Released from earthly form you relate to as "human".
You shall then glow too with dazzling Heavenly love,
Gifted to you also by God, Omnipotent Father above!

Leave now, and be of good cheer in what you see.
Know that your loved ones absent have been set free,
Dwelling now in eternal bliss without sorrow and pain,
Joined with others, singing a glorious musical refrain--

“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb!”

I Corinthians 15:55 NIV

"Where O death is your victory?
Where, o death, is your sting?”

Once again you bring such inspiration to your work... I really enjoyed the interpretation...

It is rubies, emeralds, sapphires, in crowns lovely,
In recognition of unselfish acts shown to humanity.
Each time a kindness is extended to another soul,
A jewel is placed aside as Heaven's joy is extolled!

a very interesting verse to reward good doing with jewels for when in heaven they have no value except recognition for good deeds... just how a simple gesture of praise on earth should be.

[Winter McPherson]

Beautiful! Yes, I feel as the apostle Paul - which is better to be here in the body or present with the Lord. I think to be with the Lord far better!!

Thank you for this one! :)

[R J Askew]

Well, this is charismatic that is for sure. For better or worse I have never had any religious inspiration or visions. I like this verse the best...

It is rubies, emeralds, sapphires, in crowns lovely,
In recognition of unselfish acts shown to humanity.
Each time a kindness is extended to another soul,
A jewel is placed aside as Heaven's joy is extolled!

Your poem also reminds me of a time during a wedding when I found myself in a church flipping through a hymn book. I was amazed at hust how poetic many of the hymns were. In fact I had a book of poetry in my hand. That was quite a moment. Much of that is gone now though, at least in England where very few go to church now.

Lovely verses of inspiration and a reminder that it's the good deeds of "Man" to all of God's creation that are the priceless jewels of the Hearafter.
