Promise Never Broken 2 (This Is Heaven) Poem by Britney Hogue

We stand together now
In the entrance of heaven and earth.
Smoke still hazes on the horizon
And a few flames flicker.
This is what humanity did.
Oh god, please forgive us all.
Your majestic creation
Now lies in ash beneath our feet.
This, our product of sin.

We stand quiet, and look
Upon the waste land god steps forth.
“Fear not my wonderful children.
All will be well in due time.”
With his foot he scoots the ash
To reveal a small green sprout.
As we walk animals join.
No longer fearful they follow
In pairs of two like the ark.

Even though we destroyed all,
He forgives and blesses.
He keeps all promises,
And now he leads us to paradise.
It is now ours again
With his almighty over watching.
No more pain and sorrow
Life is wonderful, beyond belief.
“This, my children, is heaven.”
