A collection of poetry by M Farrell |
She stood at the gate she waited, wondering what the point was the point to living The answer did not come to her she heard the gates whisper a voice of light called greeting up a road of gold she began to wander Other figures stood there each casting her a warm smiled but she soon came to a wall after barely a mile It seemed that heaven was too small it seemed few sould were there it couldn't be a lack of forgiveness for God had plenty to spare As if hearing her a voice gave answer from her side "Too many people have asked forgiveness with inner knowlege that they've lied." At first she did not understand had no notion of what the angel had said and so the angel went on and into knowlege she was led "When people ask forgiveness they must mean it heart and soul too many ask it with self need as their goal "They don't truly feel remorse for their wrongdoing, their sin they only claim they do so when they die they are allowed in "And so they are not truly saved though that's what they believed." It saddened her to hear this it made her cry and caused her heart to bleed She wondered why then she'd been saved she'd never asked forgiveness at all She'd thought herself undeserving that she was meant to fall "But that's exactly why you're here," the angel murmered soothingly "Your remorse was true though you did not believe "You belong here most of all the one who is humble beyond doubt you believed your sins were worste and so you did without. "You belong here most of all because your heart is true that is why the one who's here is not them but you." She stood there for a moment then turned to him to smile but he had vanished from her side had been gone all the while And so that one girl had eternity to walk with God she realized her time was not done and she decided, with a nod... She must try again she now knew what life was for what she had learned that moment she must go back and teach to more And so she was reborn a tiny infant baby but she would grow up and remember and help others to see. |
