I Seen Heaven Poem by louis rams

If you were able to see heaven, before you were taken away
Do you think you’d want to leave there
Or would you want to stay?
If heaven is as beautiful as the people
Who had death experiences say:
Then there is no comparison, there is no other way.

We live our lives the way it is allowed
We can not be someone, who tends to follow the crowd.
The LORD has given us so much beauties
Here on this earth, and we have to live it
For whatever it may be worth.

So live your life until it’s time for you to leave
Set all your goals, and struggle for it - to achieve.
And when the LORD calls for you to go home
It will be because, in your life you “shone”.

Like a star in the night, you will leave
A trail big and bright.

Now that you know what awaits on the other side.
It’s so much easier to say “goodbye”.
