Echoes of Eternity

 If Heaven is a hotel

If heaven is a hotel,

Do angels bring comfort to the soul,

Serving peace to make us whole?

Are the walls aglow with soft, warm light,

Each one beholding a gentle sight?

If heaven is a hotel,

Does the lobby echo with sweet embrace,

As long-lost loved ones find their place?

 Do we leave our sorrows at the door,

 Exchanging grief for peace, forevermore?

If heaven is a hotel,

Are the rooms a gentle retreat,

Crafted from moments of joy and peace?

Do they hold the warmth of love’s embrace,

A place where time and sorrow cease?

If heaven is a hotel,

Do they welcome all who seek their way,

Or must we earn our place to stay?

And when we rest beneath its sheets,

Do we awaken whole, or simply free?

The First Step

I still remember,
When I fail for the first time,
Just me, myself, and echoes confined,
I tried so hard; I gave my all
Yet things stood still, I recall.
 
I know this step is just the start,
So many dreams fill my heart.
Day by day, I am giving my best,
Leaving behind the weight of rest.
 
 with the strong goals sight,
 touching the success height,
Making my future bright,
As it was my first step.
 
Grateful for the nature,
Each and every creature.
Shaping a perfect future,
As it was my first step.
 
Not a year, just a week has passed,
But that first step-it’s shadow lasts.
For me it's just a start, but I believe,
Step by step, I shall achieve.
As it was my first step.
