Heaven, My Home Poem by Amanda Eckols

Heaven was my home
Before they threw me out
Into the evil sphere
The world as it is known
Or maybe it was me
Who jumped out of the nest
Without looking down
Without a bit of digression
I plunged right in
Only to discover
The cold hard truth
Is thick as mud
And twice as dark
Heaven was my home
I soon shall return
And bathe in it light
Cleansed forever
In memory alone
Soon forgotten is glory
Soon as I return
And once again to the world
I go into to wander
Heaven is my home
It shall forever be
For no place I shall roam
That more perfect be
The stars lay beside
Everyone makes room
And though I’m away
Forever my heart shall stay
For heaven is my home
