A Place For Me Poem by linda barrett

A Place for Me
@2016 Linda Barrett
After my soul leaves the corrupt shell of my body,
And I rise to Heaven above
Let all who see me know
That life is but a brief moment
Compared to the palace of eternity
I step from Earth into another place
Leave behind all my fears and regrets
Upon that fleeting world below
In a many roomed mansion,
Bought and built by a Prince of Love,
All my tears and sorrows will be wiped away
Disease and corruption reversed
My flesh fully restored and glorified
At that long-awaited day.
Reader,
Peruse this verse and realize
That death might be the worst event
You might face before your worried eyes
However, believe in the unperishable hope
Which I cannot deny or forget
And you will finally be able
Awaiting the time impatiently
For death to pass away
And dwell in the vast, endless mansion
In the Son's designed castle alongside me.
