IS THERE A PLACE?

Is there a place

where love truly reigns?

a kingdom without war or terror or disease or poverty or famine?

Is there a place where children are happy

where women are safe

where men are courageous?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

where laughter and smiles rule?

where music and poetry flow

art and literature heal

and all people are considered beautiful?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

where nature is pure?

natural is untouched

wild is left wild

colors are original

and the water is always clear and perfect?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

with no need for politics?

or laws or prisons or police

where there are no judges

and no law breakers

and no end to good deeds?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

with liberty and beauty?

ethnic dances and harmonious tribes

languages and cultures mixed

in perfect surrender and respect?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

where there are no worries or cares?

no anxiety or mental illness

no addiction and no crime

no pain and no regrets?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

where we can all agree?

and shout and laugh and dance and toast

that all is well

and as it should be?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

where there will be One God?

and the rest will be ¨under God¨

and there will be no others to mock?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

of rest and joy and perfect health?

of family and community and love

of all things bright

and all things beautiful?

Is there a place?

Is there a place

to finally see Jesus

in His rightful place

without disagreement?

to finally see Jesus

without a veil?

to finally see Jesus

as He truly is?

Is there a place?

There is such a place

it is written.

It is longed for by pilgrims

throughout time

who do not count this world as their home.

and I am waiting

for that place.

¨...they were longing for a better country - a heavenly one.  

Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God.¨ 

Hebrews 11:16
