For Heaven is a Place—

Where love never wanes,
Where the bond never breaks,
Where none are forsaken,
Where none do forsake.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where none suddenly vanish,
Where none are ever vanquished;
Where all who abide forever shall remain;
Because Heaven is a Place
Where nothing and no one fades;

Because Heaven is a Place

Where none fade away.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where every face radiates love and truth and joy fulfilled;
Where all hold hands that are clean and undefiled;
Where all are in love, and abide in love still;
Where there is no more memory of pestilence or pain;
Where there is no more stroke or stress or strain;
Where even the thought of war does not exist;
Where there is no thought of hunger or thirst or dearth;
Where there is no thought of hate to consternate;
Where there is no thought of violence to desecrate;
Where none grow cold or weary or destitute;
Where all are forever found to be worthy;
Where there is no more a need for patience or for hope,
Because hope is fulfilled in love, that is our love,
And patience is fulfilled in freedom, that is our freedom.

For the essence of Heaven is freedom without end.

And the end of this life
Means freedom in the next.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where the word "death" is never even uttered;
Where there is no thought of madness;
Where there is no thought of emptiness;
Where there is no thought of ignorance;
Where there is no thought of confusion;
Where there is no thought of anger;
Where there is no thought of angst;
Where there is no clenched fist;
Where there is no cannon to fire;
Where there is no more a need to protect or to defend;
Where politics soon dissipate;
Where there are no stereotypes;
There in Heaven,

Where no fear abides.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where all are known and honored and loved and magnified;
Where there are none who covet;
Where there is no jealousy;

Where the laughter of children is an endless rhapsody;
Where peace forever abounds;
Where music, new music, is the sound of every voice,
And where every voice is always heard,
And where there is no more clamor or cacophony or dissidence or discord.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where all are of one accord;
Where all are different yet equally the same;
Where there is no more a need to heal or to cure,
Where there are no more shackles;

Where all forever remain free;
Where there is no more loneliness;
Where there is no more doubt or suspicion or worry;
Where all are forever full of trust and trustworthiness;
Where betrayal doesn’t exist.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where all are equally loyal, and faithful, and compassionate, and honest;
Where all are equally humble, and generous, and noble, and kind;
Where all has been given,
And where nothing again shall ever be taken away;
Where the only law is the law of perpetual love,
And where everyone loves and is loved to the fullest;
Where no one is ever forgotten, not even for a second;
Where the spirit of love is forever ubiquitous;
Where there is no more a need for debate or for division;
Where all live and move and rest and love together—as One.

For Heaven is a Place—

Where there is no more separation, alienation or abandonment;
Where none are ever offended;
Where none cry out or mourn;
Where no heart is ever broken;
Where sorrow isn’t known.

For Heaven is a Place.
