Going Up, Anyone?

Will everyone reach heaven’s pearly portals?
When we’re full of sin as prideful mortals?
Elevators can’t ascend to high-rise heaven,
Nor can people forgive their hefty burdens?
But Jesus ascended on light-whited clouds,
So, souls must aspire to whatever He allows.
You need a clean heart to be accepted fair.
Thieves can’t steal your treasures up there.
Will you worship the King upon His request?
Make your discission or be one He detests.
As birds in nests getting ready to fly, even
Saints are waiting to be raptured on high!
All our sins are remembered no more.
We’ll revel in riches with songs we implore!
Let’s get ready for that celebrated feast.
Why Jesus defeated that bullying Beast.
His enemies will bow on bended knees,
And death and pain will no longer be.
Then Life will yield its fruit bearing seed.
And Christ will reign forever indeed.

Diane Treas

Her shutters were shut from the daily Sun.
Yet she laughs and banters while having fun.
She lives by faith which makes perfect sense.
She wonders will someone break her silence.
She loves her friends as sounding boards.
She dines and shops whatever she affords.
As dogs who follow their Master’s way,
She needs a guide throughout the day.
Never does she curse the daily darkness,
But she prays for healing whatever her illness.
Her oldies music & meals tackles her lonesome.
She doesn’t own wheels, but she owns a home!
Her gardener and maid may come and go,
But she loves her guests as rivers over-flow.
And when that day comes, she’ll see The Lord’s face!
And realize that being blind was just another phase.
