My Journey to God

With My Own Eyes

I saw Jesus take my Dad to Heaven
at the moment of his death
My Dad lay still with his arms at his sides
barely a breath from parted lips
He’s gone—I heard someone say
and it was at that moment
I was blessed by God to have the veil lifted
and the light of the Holy Spirit showed
Our Lord Jesus Christ to me
He was a giant
bent down on one knee
So big he could not have stood up in that room
leaning forward with outstretched arms
My Dad sat up straight and lifted his arms
eyes shining and smiling brightly
at the recognition of Jesus
the Ultimate Loved One
there to lift him up
