I Want to Write in Heaven

By Walter Burns

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Not one can be omniscient Not one except our Lord To assume I'd ever be, Is folly I won’t afford I want to write in Heaven For I’ll never know it all I want to scribe the beauty Of Man redeemed from Fall I will not write of longing I will write and never tire I won't write of sin and then I won't write of lost desire In my heart are living two Christ and belov'ed wife Praise and love I will commune And pen eternal life Boundless Heaven will not end And my heart will ever beat Reams of writing will ensue When one day, His eyes, I meet Written June 27th, 2001 © on Jun 27 2001 10:04 AM PST   0 • 12
