Analysis of THE DREAM



  I was having the most wonderful dream,
where there was a river of life, flowing in a stream.
  I looked upon streets of pure gold,
I seen The Promise Land that had been foretold.
  Diamonds, sapphire, precious stones were everywhere,
all types of trees, and none of them were bare.
  Never had I seen such beauty before,
a place full of love, who could ask for more?
  As I walked around, peace and love did fill my heart,
I knew I was in heaven, and I wanted a part!
 Then a voice said unto me,
behold all the beauty, yet there is more to see.
 I turned around to see, from where this voice had came,
the most wonderful thing I seen, I will never be the same!
 There stood a man dressed in white, with a book in his hand,
 He said: if your name is written within, you shall inherit this land!
  As He opened the book, I seen a crown of thorns upon his head,
then my eyes shifted to His feet; where they were led.
 When I seen the scars, to my face I did fall,
as he read from the book, my name he did not call.
 How my heart was broken, it was torn from within,
 then he said unto me, I forgive you of your sin.
 While there is time left, prepare ye your way
 for the time is near of the Great Judgement Day!
 Then I awoke I was laying face down on the floor,
what an awesome dream, I had entered Heavens Door!
 My sins had been forgiven, by his blood yes washed away,
while there is time my friend, prepare ye your way!
 For when we die, it will then be to late,
 by the thing's we choose to do in life, we seal our very own fate!!
