When I come to heaven Lord, what shall I bring,
My golden necklace and my diamond ring?
I have some great treasures of jade, ivory and bone,
And aren't we judged Lord, by what we own?
My important position, I've climed so high.
There just isn't anything my money won't buy,
So tell me again Lord, just what are your needs?
I've helped you a lot by doing good deeds.

You've got it all wrong, my child, my dear.
All that I've wanted is having you near.
While storing your treasures, there's much you forgot.
My love and forgiveness can never be bought.
I offer it freely just ask and receive
But you never listened, you didn't believe.
Your works and posessions are just filthy rags
So if you're coming to Heaven, unpack your bags.
Just come as you are. It's you that I love.
The price has been paid by the One up above.

Life is a gift from God you see,
He wants you to be in likeness of He.
By living creatively and accepting His gifts,
You walk side by side with He.
Call on the Angels when in need,
They will surround you and set you free.
When you feel alone,
Know you are not!
God is with you always,
in your soul and every breathing being.
Grasp His hand night and day,
As you give thanks while you meditate and pray.
The Gift of life is yours for eternity,
You will see!

Poem written by Lucy Franklin

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life,
I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you,
and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for everytime you think of me,
I'm right here,
in your heart.
