    dotsNothing Like Heavendots
    -------------------------------------------


    There once was a man in search of fine gems
    who discovered a pearl of great price.
    He knew in his heart, if this prize could be won,
    it would cost him a great sacrifice.
    So he sold his possessions and purchased this pearl.
    For this treasure, he dared not think twice.

    There was nothing like it. No words could describe it
    There was nothing quite like it, to behold through his eyes.

    A wanderer paused while crossing a field
    and uncovered a treasure so rare.
    He sold his possessions and purchased the land
    to lay claim on the gift buried there.
    Weighing all he was losing for what he might gain,
    he invested it all for a share.

    There was nothing like it. No words could describe it.
    There was nothing quite like it, to be found anywhere.

    God sent down His Son to live as a man.
    Jesus told of this place He had known.
    Like nothing we’d heard of, like nothing we’d seen,
    and no place we could find on our own.
    So at God’s invitation, Christ laid his life down.
    Jesus proved from a cross, all alone.

    There’s nothing like Heaven. No words can describe it.
    There’s nothing quite like Heaven, where God’s glory is shown.

    Far beyond worldly treasures compare;
    there is nothing like Heaven for God and Jesus live there!

    There’s nothing like Heaven. No words can describe it.
    There’s nothing quite like Heaven, God and Jesus live there!

      i loved this! what i really enjoyed was how you first established wat treasures are normally seen as, and what people go through to get them. this related the poem to everyone, not particularly making it just for those who know God. and then you brought in Heaven. this was done in a beautiful way, and I commend you on it!
