Whence Heaven?

People go from place to place
           (Or yearn to)
To find what they hope is Paradise,
While the heaven they seek
Lies before their face.
Did not Christ Jesus teach
The kingdom of God
Is within us?
(See Luke 17:20,21)
What greater heaven
Could one reach?
Not moving to another state,
But lifting thought to see
What our Master meant,
(After all, was he not God-sent?)
Is the heaven-prescribed way.
One may well need
To be in another location,
But first things first --
Taking our Lord
At his Word,
Finding out what
Christian Science reinstates,
We see more of heaven
Right where we are.
Today.
