Heaven

I’ve heard it said that heaven has Streets of the purest of gold But what I seek in that great place Is my mom’s dear hand to hold. And if my mansion is prepared With four-score of rooms or more ‘Twill only be of greatest worth If filled with my friends galore! For heaven is the home of God Who is love and all things good No place for material wealth As I now have understood. Instead, the beauty of heaven’s Not defined by wealth inside. No, its source of countless allure Are the souls that there abide. Sept. 11, 2018

Although your whole poem was filled with immense beauty and imagery but I absolutely love reading the 1st stanza of it, "what I seek in it is my mom s dear hand to hold" this line is going to be my all time favorite, anyways many congratulations on your wonderful position in the contest, good luck and have a really nice day

Ah.....this is truly a tribute to the love of your mother, and the love you have for humankind and God. It is beyond words, so I will try no harder here.

Nothing quite like being surrounded by unspoilt scenery - people or nature! Well scribed! Aloha! Rico
