ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

Oh, to reach the heights of heaven. To travel through space and beyond. This has been a goal set by man many centuries ago. In the time of DaVinci and Michelangelo men were looking for ways to soar like the birds – to reach the places only known to God. We have slowly traveled through this realm. What took God only seconds to create, we have failed to achieve. So far, the only way to see heaven in all its majesty and glory is to die.

Death is impending for every living thing. Eternal life has been the pursuit of man since the beginning of time. There is only one way to conquer death, and we play no part in it. Jesus came to earth to conquer death and take away sin. Those who believe this, will surely see heaven. Man will continue to take baby steps but will never be able to compete with God.

That first glimmer of light at dawn – when God kisses the mountain tops,

Waking the life from pleasant sleep, refreshing with morning dew drops,

The stillness of morning’s first light, explodes like a heavenly sight,

The sky turns to a glorious blue , as daylight replaces the night.

Reflections of His perfect world, are seen in that early sunrise,

Creation sings at His command, becoming a sight for the eyes,

He captures the light of the sun, brings warmth to the earth with His breath,

He fulfills every earthly need, He protects us even in death.
