Promised Land

Young boy, resolute, wandered the land Discovered lies, hatred, war, people in despair Selfishness, global warming, love of God denied Everywhere bleak, sorrowful, truth forbidden. Met an old man, frail hermit, gentle spirit Banished and living fugally in a cave Who told him of the teachings of Jesus Christ Of God's eternal love, Heaven with angels. Boy set off to find the way to Heaven Years passed and he became old, still seeking But resolute following the hermit's directions Ever faithful to the teachings of a crucified man. Dying, he entered Heaven with light and happiness Found God and was bathed in love eternal.
