Spiritual Poems

Heaven or Hell?

by Ellen Bailey

Heaven has a place prepared for me and you
Hell is another place that has one prepared too
There is no place in-center that we can go
It's either Heaven above or Hell down below

Heaven is a place with streets paved with gold
Hell is a fiery furnace with unquenchable coals
Heaven is found with forgiveness and prayer
Hell doesn't care; it will take you as you are

We are all destined for one place or the other
There is no place in-center to run for cover
We must decide now where we intend to stay
We cannot be fence-sitters come judgment day
