The Dream
by Eva
I journeyed into a peaceful valley with laughter, singing and such delight.
It seemed I'd been traveling all the day long, yet still no darkness; only light.
I see children playing.  I hear music playing.  There lamb and lion graze side-by-side.
Yet no fear nor anguished faces, there no traces did I spy.
Where was I?  Streets of gold.  I've seen the young, now where's the old?
All healthy bodies, no one crying.  Singing, shouting all the day long.
Is it real or will I wake up?  For now my heart sings right along.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for
the old order of things has passed away"  [Revelation 21:4]
