I've been thinking about Heaven
And still hoping to get in,
But I wonder if it's worth it,
Giving up our sex and sin.
Would we stop our drinking, gambling,
Leave our money at the gate;
Mingle with all creeds and colors,
Lesving no one to berate.
And how about the luxury
Of materialistic things;
Our cars, our pets, our boats and such,
Oh! The comfort that each brings.
Now, this is for eternity
And surely we should love it,
But deep within my heart I feel
Some further need to covet.
All these things keep me thinking, for
They are somewhat provoking;
But, I will keep on trying and
I hope God knows I'm joking.

I love it, a brilliant poem, I don`t really know what`s in heaven, doubt if anyone does. But you wrote a good poem while you are still on earth.
Well, I'm not a God person myself believing that Heaven and Hell are states of being on earth, so as long as we do no harm to others and bear in mind that people are more important than things, I guess the thoughts expressed in your poem are okay (have you read mine entitled Heaven and Hell) . Very good poem, amusing and well written.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Lol. In light of this world, I'd give up anything to get into heaven. And that's no joke. A great Write. Thanks for sharing.
