In living and loving
we reach for a heaven:
a story, a journey
and we’re on our way.
Maybe intuition
or God’s revelation
but not without you today.
In crying and playing
we reach for a heaven,
not somewhere, not out there
or further away.
It’s here where we’re neighbours
with all living creatures
and not without you today.
In giving and taking
we reach for a heaven:
a garden of trees where
all children can play.
No threat and no danger,
we’ll welcome the stranger
and not without you today.
In living and loving
we reach for a heaven:
no sadness, no illness
and we’re on our way.
Maybe intuition
or God’s revelation
but not without you today.
