If Heaven Was Closer

If Heaven was closer,

Would I see you everyday?

Would you recognize me?

Or would I cause you dismay?

If Heaven was closer,

Would I see your smile?

Would you still smell the same?

Could I stay for a while?

If Heaven was closer,

What would you say?

There's so much you've missed,

Because you had to go away.

If Heaven was closer,

Would you introduce me to God?

Would He let me stay with you,

Even though I am flawed?

If Heaven was closer,

What would you do?

If you met me at the Pearly Gates,

Would you be blue?

I wish Heaven could be closer,

There's so much you've missed.

But I bet I've missed a lot, too.

At least you've got your mom, dad, and sis'.

Paul had three kids-

The family he wanted.

He married a spoilt rich chick-

She loves to flaunt.

Michelle got married, too.

He's a “good ol boy”.

He's cool, but a lil crazy.

But I would be if I was her source of joy.

Me, I'm alone.

I graduated high school,

But college was a bust-

I feel like such a fool.

I wish Heaven were closer,

There's so much I wanted to know-

I wish I could call you. . .

Just to hear you say “Hello”.

I wish Heaven could be closer

Because its not fair!

Other kids have their Grandmas...

I just get filled with so much despair.

I wish Heaven were closer...

I'd take back some things I said...

I didn't know back then that

All too soon you'd be....

If Heaven were closer,

Would you embrace me with

One of your magical hugs?

If Heaven were closer,

Would you still be my

Best friend?

If Heaven were closer,

Would you be there?
