Tour Of Heaven Poem by louis rams

he took me on a tour of heaven
just so that i could see.
what the future would now hold for me.

he allowed me to look down upon the earth
with all its aches and pains.

he said: this is why i took you
for an angel you will be.
to help relieve the world
of all this misery.

i walked throughout the heavens
in total amazement and awe.
the poor, the sick, the rich and famous
all this is what i saw.

there was so many colors
more than this earth could ever see.
flowers of every nature, and the buzzing
of all the bees.

every type of animal that
we've seen upon the earth
walking amongst the people
and not looking to hurt.

you could walk up to any animal
and pet and play with them
for they are there for you
and want to be your friend.

i did not want to leave there
but there was a job he said
i must do.

to join all the other angels
and to show mankind
that there is an escape
if you take the time.

then GOD gave me my wings
and he set me free
to touch the hearts
of all humanity.
