When we go to heaven... Is it true; a bright light will come to see you through?
When we go to heaven... Do you see your life in rewind, as you pass through to another time?
When we go to heaven... Will I know anyone there? Is my departed family waiting for me? To show me how my new life will be?
When we go to heaven... Does the Lord welcome you into Heaven's gates as a rule? Does he look like all his pictures do?
When we go to heaven... Can you walk on the clouds without falling through? Do you think my favorite slippers will do?
When we go to heaven... Do you get your own set of wings? Or do you have to be good and work for these things?
When we go to heaven... Is harp music what you will hear? I hope there will be a radio or televisions there and a phone to keep near.
When we go to heaven... Do you dress all in white like the Angels do? Can I wear my favorite colors red; sometimes blue?
When we go to heaven... Do you have to work? Must I attend school? I bet this is one of God's golden rules.
When we go to heaven... Are there animals there? Can I have pets? Do you know how many are there yet?
When we go to heaven... Are there birthday parties and Christmas trees? I really doubt they would do away with these.
When we go to heaven... Are there cars? Are there streets? Can I get a new bike? Are there sidewalks so I can ride?
When we go to heaven... Are there Grocery Stores, malls to shop? The finest Restaurants and I can eat all that I want.
When we go to heaven... Would you live in a house or an apartment in the sky? I'm afraid of heights but I'll try.
When we live, many questions we will face! What will my life be? Will I leave a trace? Will I make it into God's grace?
If we live our lives to the best of everyday, with remembrance of the past we have already made. These memories and reminders so engraved, in our hearts and the people's lives I know we have already touched.
So please don't think of this as the end! You just have another wonderful life to attend!
