God wants His children to live happy and free, <br />But when He looks down, this is what He sees. <br />His children starving, killed for what they believe. <br />Living in poverty instead of Eden, like Adam and Eve. <br />He sees His children thinking only of themselves. <br />All His teachings of love lying dusty on the shelf. <br />He sees greed, hate, sadness, very little love, <br />Tears fall from His eyes to this sad earth from above. <br /> <br />But then God also sees hope, compassion and caring. <br />People helping the weaker through empathy and sharing. <br />God sees forgiveness, a child's outreached hand, so <br />He sends angels to protect all who live in this great land. <br />God sees families together with their hands folded in prayer, <br />Praying for peace and thanks that others do care. <br />He sees His children once again knowing His love. <br />God then smiles and the sun shines from Heaven above.<br /><br />Sandra Finch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-above-2/
