Beyond

September 11, 2008

Beyond the trees,
Beyond the sky,
Beyond the planes that fly by.
Beyond the Earth,
Beyond the Moon,
Beyond the space in which darkness looms.
There is aplace where everything is right.
It is the place where angels first take flight.
It is a place where people's souls and spirits loom, where nobody ever fights for a room
And if someone is to cry or pout,
God will soothe them without a doubt...
Heaven is the place where the souls of both you and me,
In years to come shall run free.

I was only 10 when I wrote this. It was inspired by my grandfather's passing away, which is a good example of the fact that even a stormy grey cloud has its silver lining.
