"One Hand in Heaven...and One Foot in the Grave..." (poem)

I've one hand in Heaven,
And one foot in the grave,
Some days I look up,
And some days I look down.

And when I look up,
The sun shines,
And Arms reach out,
And Warmth awaits in Abundance.

I've one hand in Heaven,
And one foot in the grave,
I could be flying,
And I could be buried...

And when I look down,
Pain and loss,
Tears and loneliness,
Drugs and darkness.

I've one hand in Heaven,
And one foot in the Grave,
Know where I'm going,
Know how to get there...

Which way do I look?
I can't control that,
I look both ways,
Not through fear, through truth...

One hand in Heaven,
One foot in the Grave,
Look down,
Then look UP....

  1. Cancer is so limited…

    It cannot cripple love, It cannot shatter hope, It cannot corrode faith, It cannot eat away peace, It cannot destroy confidence, It cannot kill friendship, It cannot shut out memories, It cannot silence courage, It cannot invade the soul, It cannot reduce eternal life, It cannot quench the Spirit, It cannot lessen the power of the Resurrection.
