If heaven was a Mile away

We often forget just how close we are to heaven.

If Heaven was a Mile away

Would my sobs be heard?

Would my shoulders and eyes still feel so heavy from burdens placed.

If Heaven was a mile away,

Would I smile more often knowing that God was right down the street?

Would I pray louder outside the gates, or ignore the kingdom like so many?

If Heaven was a mile away would sin still take over my soul and grow exponentially?

Or would I finally believe in the obvious power before me?

Could I ignore the worldly problems and live, be tranquil and happy.

Happy going without, but knowing that Heaven was so close I must be blessed.

If Heaven was a mile away, would I be able to clasps my hands together and dispel

My heart to the ceiling knowing that my voice only had to travel a mile,

Not as far as the cosmos.

If Heaven was a mile away…many a times we forget just how close we are to Heaven.
