Heaven with my friends

by ben thompson   Feb 5, 2008


Streams of anguished tears flow from my weary eyes.
Just like falling rain, pouring from the midnight skies.

Aching body wracked by pain as I struggle off my knees.
Hoping the merciful Savior heard all my humble pleas.

I pray for my babies safety, as they grow so strong.
Although I know in my heart the Lord won't tarry long.

I pray for my fractured family who now seems so far away.
Hoping Jesus will erase our Devil, so we may reunite someday.

I pray for our dying society, as we fall further away from God.
For a country founded on Christianity, doesn't that seem odd.

I pray for loved ones salvation so I may see their smiles again
The only thing better than Heaven, is Heaven with my friends.

    The safety of our children is what our hearts breath for. And to even think of someone or something hurting them tears at us.

    You have spoken such truth here .... we remember to eat, drink, walk and talk but how many times do we thank God for granting us those things.

    What a wonderful piece you have penned. Prayers we all pray.

    I pray for loved ones salvation so I may see their smiles again
    The only thing better than Heaven, is Heaven with my friends.

    That is what I hope...that I will be able to spend eternity with all those I love.
