Beyond the sky at which I stare <br />I know that heaven's waiting there, <br />For life continues after death <br />And when I draw my final breath. <br /> <br />And called towards that pearly gate <br />Where all my loved ones shall await, <br />Those passed before so long ago <br />Will welcome me each face I'll know. <br /> <br />Then I shall see the other side <br />And with my Lord I will abide, <br />In paradise where flowers grow <br />The all the answers I shall know. <br /> <br />That made me question all those years <br />My private and longstanding fears, <br />Not knowing if or knowing where <br />But love and peace is surely there.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-the-sky-2/
