Show others the light of God, take them home to a place worthy of the highest existence.
Time to harvest for those still searching for the best grains to consume, their search never over if they only use their mortal senses to look at the world.
In heaven, there are many rooms where time and space is meaningless maybe invisible to the naked eye.
The harvest and the journey home is a long one. Be prepared for final battles with the devils - they are waiting at the Pearly Gates last stops.
Good write and well expressed.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

    Hi Carolyn,

    Thanks for sharing this story of harvest. I just wish we can harvest and not have to sow like in that forgotten garden.
    If only time will obey my command, we can all happily harvest and leave the sowing to the heaven's angels, smiles.
    Cheerio, best always to you too, hugs, Ritchie.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Is the Harvest just for us, to enjoy and consume
Not so my friends, in Heaven's house, we are told are many rooms
In that City of Gold, with Pearly Gates, there's 'naught of time nor space
The Lord of Harvest freely bestows, the gift, of matchless Grace

I really enjoyed reading this poem. God has His hand in all we do. We don't say thank you, enough.

A very lovely job, sounds sincere and heartfelt, the harvest theme is nice and the photo fits it well, always good to see someone relate their spiritual joy, and you did a good job of doing that, good luck in the contest.

Well Done ~ Carolyn

This poetry is bright and sunny. The rhymes are not
forced and the reader-friendly language makes it easy
to comprehend. The attached photo is the perfect accent
to enhance the message. Thank You for your creation.

IN that city of gold with pearly gates...what a fine bit of poetry devoted to our Lord and Savior. Beautifully written with perfect flow and meter. Your words make my mind want to turn to prayers at this very moment. Blessings.

This is pretty good. I was thinking:
Heavens house
needs an apostrophe between the 'n' and 's' in Heavens to show possession.
The word 'naught in stanza 3 has an apostrophe in front of it for some reason but doesn't need one.

I think the line:
The Lord of Harvest freely bestows, the gift, of matchless Grace
does not need the two commas after 'bestows' and 'gift'

I like your choice of color; it looks like super-ripe corn and helps reinforce the title.

What I really liked about this poem was the fact that you explored your own poetic vision of your faith, rather than quote, mimic or otherwise invoke Scripture. Your statement of faith is no less for this. Well done--Ted

Rest now, ye weary laborers, with sickles laid aside
Rest now, forevermore to live, and with the Lord reside

Boy Carolyn this sure does take it to the Lord. Wonderful imagery and an awesome write.
