Heaven is a place
That is far away
And nearly impossible to get to.
Heaven is a promise
For a life lived in the service of others.
.
But Heaven is also a metaphor,
As in Heaven on earth,
And Heaven is a journey,
Where each step could be joyous.
.
And Heaven is a woman,
Who is a promise, a metaphor, and a journey.
Where Joy exists in her smile,
And peace in her loving arms.
