Heaven Can't Wait

Heaven lies not

beyond the stars

But dwells within

your heart.

Attitude is the golden key

That plays an integral part.

Possibilities open wide

By the choices you create

If life is Hell change your state of mind

Each day‚s a brand

new slate.

Heaven lies not

beyond the stars

But is in a loving thought.

A kindly deed here,

a smile there

Your effort‚s not

for naught.

You work the loom

that weaves the thread

For the fabric of

your life.

Will it be bright and smooth or instead

Bring you more

chafing and strife?

Heaven may lie within your heart

For loving others shows your worth

Yet deeds play the

vital part

By bringing Heaven down to Earth.
