Do you believe in Heaven?
You know the place with
White, pearly gates.
Cotton houses floating
Effortlessly in the sky holding
Wonders we could only
Dream of at night while we're
Still breathing on solid
Ground.
Home after home
When we're called to our
Fate and nothing is left for
Us because it's
Our time.
Everything happens for a reason
They say. Everything
Happens for a cause.
And I can only think of all
Those souls taken from
Mothers and fathers
And all those lives stolen
Before they had time
To fully mature.
Everything happens for
A reason.
They go to a place
Beyond this where no
One fights or cries
And you get a home to live
With the ones you loved.
Forever.
And you ask me
Do I believe in Heaven.
No matter how unlikely the
Thought of it is I think
Of all those I wish
Were in a better place,
A better time,
Somewhere they could
Be free and all
I can say is
I want to.
