CAN WE HAVE HEAVEN ON EARTH?

An Insightful View from Philosopher, Educationist and Entrepreneur
Jimmy Teo


Life on earth is but a brief moment, a wind;
We will say ‘Good byes’ to some friends
And some will do likewise
To us - one fine day, just a matter of when.

Heaven has no pain, sadness or disease
Misunderstanding, hatred, caustic people, death
But on earth
God gives us light to shine on our oft difficult path
Laughter to cover the sadness & pains
Kindness to displace arrogance
Ability to help & inspire others
Free will to do good or bad
The best or worst.

Can we have heaven in our hearts?

Can we live like in heaven,
Providing succour to those in pain & sorrow
Walking alongside those needing genuine help
Doing good in mind, heart & words?

Knowing that life will end one fine day
It is good to contemplate
How we must use our remaining days
To be, think & speak ‘Good’.
