At the end of the road when my life is done
What will I find will there be one
Who will meet me there at the pearly gates
With hands outstretched no need to wait
Will he be tall short fat or thin
When he sees me will he break out with a grin
Funny to me how we fantasize
Making God like us as we rationalize
Dreaming that descriptions of hands and face
Describe a reality that has no race
Metaphors become reality as we describe our God
Forgetting he is Spirit and that would be odd
For a Spirit has no shape, no hands to hold tight
Only a presence of the purest light
So whether our God is he she or it
The God we meet will probably not fit
The idea we have in the back of our mind
Won’t it be interesting what we will find
At the end of the road

One may not find as expected but it is more of getting the solace sought after through life. Our existence ought to have been accepted upon reckoning in the afterlife! Thoughtful thoughts Dwight!

Makes me think of the song I so love I can only imagine. God is so much more than We can ever describe. Our words don’t do Him justice,. Very good poem!

Cute child like poem.
Interestingly, it is a theological treatise:
Yahweh revealed himself often in body form: Theophanies
Yahweh incarnated in Jesus
Vishnu incarnated many times
Some religions (most sects of Islam) forbid thinking of theophanies or incarnations.
Some (Mormons) have their god as an actual human
Some other Christians see a bodily resurrection with our bodies hanging with an embodied god.
So many opinions!

How true Dwight. I know once I meet a person I have never seen yet spoken with, they are never as I pictured them in my mind. Well done!

Can holy fire be embodied? I imagine infinite love will envelop us when we see Jesus’ face!

Indeed… only in metaphors we can describe it. we can just hope, or fear what happens afterwards.
