A Trip To Heaven
by Charles Chuze Kayeyi

I took a trip to heaven
But only in my mind
I wanted to know what it's like
To leave all you love behind.
So I closed my eyes and started to see
Just how beautiful heaven can be.
I could see the pearly gates of white
and behind them was the most radiant light.
I saw an angel as she was passing by
so incredibly beautiful that a tear fell
from my eye.
Everyone looked perfect and with the
angels they did sing
There are no earthly words to describe
the beauty of their wings.
As I sat on a bench in the most incredible garden
I asked God for all of my sins to be pardoned
I took one last look at all of the beauty around
And when I opened my eyes, it was
peace that I found.
