People Suicidal Due To Pain And Illness
Heaven - Invitation Only
You climbed this stairway once before
That day you knocked on heaven's door
Heaven - Invitation Only
You climbed this stairway once before
That day you knocked on heaven's door
They answered "No, it's not your time"
"Just go back down and you'll be fine"
They knew in heaven what you'd gone through
That disease had stolen part of you
The types of pain you had to bear
Those chemo drugs that took your hair
The angels watched in full dismay
As you tried to take your pain away
You had new parts when you awoke
To replace the ones that you had broke
Heaven's reception told you there simply wasn't room
They'd lots of tiny baby souls waiting for a womb
Was it just that more went in than numbers coming out?
Or did they mend you at the gates as you were having doubt?
Surely heaven could have found a space?
For such a person with such good faith
Surely they could just have let you in?
Squeezed up a bit, with you being thin?
Was it their opinion that there was more for you to do
Or maybe it related to your loved ones needing you
Was it that they noticed you weren't written on the list
Could it be instead that they knew you would be missed
It seems heaven in your case was by invitation only
Not if driven to despair and not if feeling lonely
Not related to this illness, or if life just fell apart
Not when you were grieving or aching in the heart
Perhaps your time on earth was just not fully done
Or just too many folk would prefer you hadn't gone
All of us were glad to hear you must await your call
For extra time with you became a great gift for us all
The angels were delighted that they'd made you come back down
They saw that you've been happy, only rarely would you frown
We have to say in honesty we wanted you to stay
And yes, the cancer did remit, for years it went away
And now you've seen your sons more grown
And held the babes you would not have known
And touched the lives again of those you love
And all in Heaven were smiling from above
But now the angels call you to invite you there
You say, "once I doubted God, so how can I prepare"?
They tell you "have no fear, for you haven't been disowned"
"We'll pick you up this time, and take you safely home"
