To See (#7 in A Collection of Poems for the Body of Christ)
“Where we love is home: Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
To See
The sights of that beautiful City
Will be lovely to behold
Those pearly gates
The crystal sea
The streets made of purest gold.
My eyes now strain to see
That long eternal day
No more sickness
No more death
My tears all wiped away.
I’ll meet many saints of God
That upon this earth I loved
Grandpa, Grandma
Unborn child
Reunited up above.
But of all the beauty I imagine
About my Heav’nly Home in the skies
The utmost joy
My supreme desire
Is to gaze into my Savior’s eyes.
