At times over the past year or so I have felt exactly as Dennis Mchale has so beautifully articulated in this poem. Blind, directionless and alone.
Thank you Dennis for sharing you gift with the world.
Awoke today to nothingness, and no sense of direction

Without much aim, I stumbled forth, devoid of my complexion
And set my way in this darkened day, begun in such rejection.

Heaven is a kingdom- perfect, peaceful and bright-where all God’s precious children- are protected in his light. There is no illness or distress- not anger, hate or fear. Everyone basks in his love-as he tenderly holds them near. Heaven is the paradise-where we all long to be- God’s grace and love
show in his eyes- in full felicity.
