Disoriented.
The window was on the opposite wall,
My bed was facing the wrong
Direction, and my lamp seemed strange.
I searched for my alarm clock.
Instantly I remembered I was at my
Daughter's house.
I pondered and wondered how it will
Be when I wake up in heaven.
Since night and weariness will have
Passed, will I even need a bed, or
A clock or a lamp?
Will I have the desire to sleep?
Will doors be obsolete?
How will it be to never again feel
Closed in or shut out, or shy, or
Puffed up, or lonely or unloved?
How will I contain the wonder of
Being in God's presence?
My dwelling will be unimaginably
New, yet astonishingly familiar, and
I won't be one bit disoriented.
When I open my eyes I will be
Surrounded by my immense welcoming
Family, and I will feel perfectly at home.
