This Heaven Poem by Maurice Harris

Had I not believed in Heaven, I simply must now;
You may be lead to query: 'This may be, yet how? '
Whensoever I may have occasion, to gaze in to your eyes,
I can see Heaven, I have no means to feign, nor disguise!

I yearn to see this Heaven, every solitary night;
I long to be humbly within your gracious sight!
If only my heart had words, oh, what it would recite-
A sweet song of my elation, my soul's delight!

Mine whole life, I have awaited to be in your embrace;
I stand now in inspired awe, at your amazing grace!

My jollity knows not bound, nor cease, I would submit!
Your love hath more power than word could admit!

But for now, this Heaven only exists when I dream,
Then I awaken to my reality, though real it did seem!
