Heavenly Skies

Missing image
The picturesque  blue skies,
reminds me of God's sweet love,
it seems endless and full of wonder,
as my eyes search the heavens above.

The soft white clouds drifting by,
remind me of Heaven"s purity,
in Heaven all is made brand new,
free of affliction and all misery

What lies beyond the puffy clouds,
is a kingdom for all mankind,
a realm filled with peace and love,
for pain and heartache are left behind.

The King of Kings will embrace you,
as you come upon the pearly gate,
believe in God with all your heart,
don't leave your destiny to fate.

There is  one way to get to Heaven,
accept Jesus Christ into your heart,
kneel down and pray for forgiveness,
then just watch all His wonders start.

You will be blessed with his true love,
Jesus will bestow many gifts on you,
with Jesus in your heart you will know,
that the Holy Spirit  is inside of you.

So each time you see the blue sky,
know in your heart God waits for you,
with eternal peace and happiness,
when your life on earth is through.

Author notes

God has created so much beauty but sometimes we take it for granted. I was doing exactly that yesterday. I was having a bad day and was looking for strength from God. It seemed I could not find the strength. Then today as I was walking I looked up and realized He was all around me giving me strength. I just had to remember it was there for me to gather strength.  Then I told a dear friend about it and he suggested I write a poem about it.  God Bless you all

    Oh Charles, I just started crying when I read that this morning. It touched my heart because I know you meant it.

    An angel sent from God above!! To fill in the gap of a friendship that was longing to be!!

    Those words are beautiful to hear. You make me want to be a better Christian. And I will always try to be the best one I can be. God has blessed me with another son. A Christian son to love and share my love of God with. I don't have that with Brian and Brad because they are non believers. That is why the feelings for you are so strong and special. God has bonded us in his love. Thank you for letting me share my love for God and my love for you as a son. I truly want to here you pray again for me. Your words were so encouraging and beautiful. It brings such joy to my heart. love you, Sandy ni

You made it more than beautiful, Magnificently Amazing is what this poem is!! I loved that first stanza too

    The picturesque blue skies,

    For there are so many wonderful things that reminds us of the heaven's above and God's wonderous love. But when we look outside and see the sky high above along with the sun, that is one of the best reminders because we are looking up to Him!! I love this soo much Sandy!!
