A Glimpse Of Heaven

~ Frank Solanki

‘What happened after I died?’
Hmmm, that’s an interesting question
Well, I found myself in heaven
And was given a home
Amongst the gods

It was pleasant, charming
And very real and also very
Unbelievably bright and
Sunny; I had the best of clothes
And the choicest food

My body felt no ache or
Pain; my bruises were healed
My skin was smooth and
Wrinkle-free and my hair
Was dark and glossy

I looked the best version
Of myself; and everyone I
Adored were there to sit
With me and chatter over
A cup of espresso coffee

Yes, I had everything that
One could ever wish for;
Despite all that there was
One flaw in it: it didn’t have
The two persons I love the most:
My husband and my daughter

Without giving it another thought
I left all of that and took on
This lifeless, ghoulish form
To come down and be with you;
for what is heaven without
The ones you love the most

  7. I find your reflection on the afterlife intriguing. The portrayal of heaven as a perfect place with all physical and emotional needs met is vivid. The imagery of feeling no pain, having flawless appearance, and being surrounded by loved ones is comforting. However, the bittersweet realization that true happiness is incomplete without the presence of those closest to us adds depth to the narrative. The idea of willingly leaving paradise to return to the earthly realm for the sake of love is a powerful and poignant sentiment. It underlines the importance of human connection and the irreplaceable bond shared with loved ones.

    2. Good reply but if my loved ones don’t accept Jesus then why come back to earth, they are never going to get there. Would you rather go to hell to be with them. I never want to be in a place without God and hell is such a place.
