'The Other Side' Poem by Linda Winchell

I have traveled to the other side
But now… I’m coming back.
I have seen…. just where Heaven is
And where my heavenly home is at.

But it wasn’t time… for me I guess
That’s what I’ve figured out.
And I have more of God’s work to do.
And more of His good works…. to spread about.

If I’m called again… one day to go there
I think I’ll ask God…. If maybe I could stay.
And maybe if He’s ok with that
I won’t be again… sent away.

But for now I have some more work to do
Before I leave this earthly place.
I have to wash the feet of others
And show them all …. God’s love and redeeming grace.
