The Other Side

by louis gander
http://www.ganderpoems.org

Creation crafted meadows green,
with mountains tall and wide.
Believe the other side, my friend -
believe the other side?

Our lives fulfill the greatest dreams,
as beauty seeks the bride.
Believe the other side, my friend -
believe the other side?

A small inscription marks a coin,
and notice we, a pride.
Believe the other side, my friend -
believe the other side?

The clouds will cap the valley low,
and skies, the clouds can hide.
Believe the other side, my friend -
believe the other side?

The waters mask the ocean floor -
some only notice tide.
Believe the other side, my friend -
believe the other side?

The waves (as time), come crashing in.
Believe that there is more?
What's on the other side, my friend?
What's on the other shore?

A loving voice through Heaven's gates,
calls softy, yet is heard.
Just listen for His still, small voice
through His celestial Word.

The other side holds Heaven's gates.
They cry for you and me.
God whispers low His message now
with grace so pure and free.

It is appointed, we're to die -
but after we have died?
What's on the other side, my friend -
what's on the other side?
