Far away , there lies a land
where the sunshine never fades.
A land beyond the chains of time
and the bindings of reality.
Into this land
Here comes a man
exhausted by his long journey,
He is a great figure,
His shoulders are broad
and his strength is indefatigable.
As his destination draws near,
The man sees a great golden gate
Shimmering in the sun.
He enters the gates
Where he sees a figure
in the near distance
A figure in a white robe
who beckons to him
“Come my son”
As Jesus wraps him in a robe of purple
With a beautiful voice he says,
“Well done My good and faithful servant!”
He leads the man to a great golden city,
There he meets all his fallen comrades
Friends and Family that have arrived before him are there.
And They embrace him
and he is filled with great joy.
The man hears a voice like unto a great wind
As he looks up the wind rushes past him
And he sees all his life, from his birth to his untimely death,
played back to him on the backdrop of blue sky.
10000 years then begins
and His reward is great.
Those the man has left behind,
His family and his many friends,
Have tears in their eyes,
But deep in their hearts is a great joy.
For the man has left a legacy
of love and faith, kindness, courage, strength and beauty.
And the knowledge
That the day will come when we
shall meet him again
in the clouds
up in heaven.
