On the Way to Heaven
On the way to Heaven,
make sure that you live well.
Be thoughtful in your actions.
Choose wise the words you tell.
Amongst us, there are angels
recording joys and pain.
They whisper in the breezes,
catch teardrops in the rain.
Theses messengers from Heaven
watch actions that we choose.
Invisible observers
of how we win and lose.
As we proceed in journey,
must come to understand
that all our golden treasures
will stay upon this land.
If some should block our passage,
push not out of the way.
Recall that there are angels
transcribing what we say.
So on the way to Heaven,
don’t take more than you give.
Let go the chains of envy.
Make best the acts you live.
When reaching gate of entry,
the end of earthly ride,
you’ll be a star that glitters
with angels by your side.
