Heaven |
| by Meghan Flood |

I sit here alone wondering why Our lives have to end and we all have to die. We have no idea or no way of knowing Of when we’ll die or where we’re going I sit here thinking of the people I’ve lost Knowing of the pain and misery it’s cost You could lose a family member or your very best friend You would have had no idea that it was the end If we had an idea of when our time would come You would make the most of it and have some fun You would cherish those days as much as you could Forgetting all the bad times and making them good When those days are over and your time is here Hold tight to your memories and keep them near When you rise up to God and the heavens above Look down and watch over the ones that you love. |

i think that meghan Flood did a fablous job on the heaven poem because we don't know when god is gonna come and when we get older we gonna die. It's hard to lose are love ones but, that's the reality. Heaven is more joyul and my peaceful with God. So once again i'm really happy thati read her poem. It let me know more about it.
