A Glimpse of Heaven

Today I caught a glimpse of heaven,

As I sat upon the beach,

My soul felt lost and depressed,

My dreams just out of reach.

The prayers they started coming,

I was asking for a sign,

Something to make me feel better,

In these desolate times.

You see I had lost my job,

I didn’t know what to do,

So I stared out at the ocean,

And that’s when I saw you.

At first I thought I was dreaming,

I blinked, but you were there,

Then I saw your hand reach out,

And wipe away my tear.

You smiled at me tenderly,

Your words I heard quite clear,

You told me it would be okay,

Because you’re always near.

And then I saw you point,

And couldn’t believe the sight,

I was looking through a window,

Made of sand just to my right.

Now look through there my child,

And tell me what you see,

I stared at the breathtaking sunset,

As my tears again broke free.

I felt the hand once again,

A caress upon my face,

I stared into the ocean,

My troubles now erased.

Then he whispered a few words,

That is forever part of me,

He said don’t carry your troubles,

Leave them here for me.

Everything that happens,

I sure do know it all,

That’s why I’m hear today,

Because I heard you call.

I tipped my head to look at him,

He smiled and disappeared,

So I stared back out the window,

And I wiped away the tears.
