Heaven Will Gain Poem by Randy McClave

Upon this land will become a barren field,
When lives will be part of the maker’s yield,
Good people will fall like the felling of a tree,
But, up in heaven there they will always be.
What is lost here on earth, heaven will gain,
GOD will rule, and the saints they will reign,
And that is the plan for us one and all,
When that time does come for us to fall.

Graveyards are full of the righteous and the ready,
Their voices were strong and their beliefs were steady,
Loved ones will be lost in the passing of time,
Some too young while others gone in their prime.
But, who we will lose, Heaven will always gain,
As life and living is never held in futility or vain,
And that is the intent for us to be bound,
What is lost here on earth, in heaven it will be found.

The good and the virtuous will never be lost,
Their living and their death will be that ultimate cost,
In the eyes of man they might have been ignored,
But, they are the ones to find the ultimate reward.
A loss here on earth, heaven will always gain,
The saints will rejoice while we cry from the pain,
Into the earth, their body will find its eternal plot,
What is hidden on earth, in heaven it will not be forgot.
