We  all  will  meet  us  in  the  NEW  WORLD !  ❤

[Queen Esther]

I hope, this poem will comfort the bereaved ones,  who read it.   ----

I was moved to write this poem during the summer of 1998 while in the depths of grief due to the loss of my dear Mother in May, 1998. I was told about an illustration a circuit overseer related at an assembly. He said, that we are on a train destined for the new world. However, many of our friends are getting tired and going to sleep. When that happens on a literal train, you are taken to the sleep-car. They are in the sleep-car,  riding right along with us to Paradise. I felt,  this is a more comforting mental picture, than that of my Mama lying in a box at the cemetery.  Ruth Bohonsuik

I  love  this  poem  to  our   VIDEO -  PARADISE  TRAIN....  

written  by  our  Sister,  Ruth Bohonsuik

 

THE  PARADISE  TRAIN©

By Ruth Bohonsuik
We're on a forward moving train to Paradise,
Whose passengers are booked for eternal life.
However, some on that train get sick and fall asleep.
They're sent to the sleep-car so they can rest in peace.
They are still on our train,
Riding with us - as we go.
Our destination is Paradise,
Only then will it unload.
The Great Crowd is conducted off the train,
Then Christ Jesus, our Master, speaks,
To those in the sleep-car - "come on out,"
The time has come for the end of all grief.
Our loved ones are finally awakened,
And received with unspeakable delight,
Known only to those who are faithful,
And preserved through Armageddon's fight.
The depth of sadness and grief once known,
As promised, is matched by joy untold.
Never again by death will loved ones be severed.
Together we praise, the Great Jehovah forever.
The things we will do! Ah! The plans we will make.
Unhindered by illness, pain, sadness, or aches.
Fear will be gone, that enemy death is no more,
Are some of the things our dear Father has in store.
In the name of Christ Jesus, your Only Begotten Son,
We prayerfully thank you Jehovah, for you are the One,
Who lovingly arranged for us to come aboard this train,
That safely transported us, 'From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained'.

Another  POEM  I  found....

The train to the Paradise

On the death bed for cessation, a platform free from brawl,
I perceive in peace my debilitating breath.
And give off a brief one as I hear my call,
The one from the train to the paradise.

My soul boards it on, waving a good-bye to my body and kins.
The journey commences, the patrons graciously welcome me with smiles.
I gladly accept the offered window seat to witness the realm free from sins,
Inhaling the pristine air of contentment.

Breaching the clouds, up above the sky we go,
The chirping of birds, the whistle of the engine a merry music to our ears.
The spruce of blossoms of all the shades that we know,
A pleasant company all along the path.

The track so well embellished with assorted vines.
The aroma of satiation by the sight of mighty green grooves,
The breathtaking millisecond vision sends shivers down our spines,
Of the fiery magnificent flight of the phoenix.

Revelation of the antiquities, is more a shocking miracle than delight.
The Unicorn's excursion although contradicts it being mystique.
Is crystal clear to our eyes, to our intellects with dynamic energy we are forced to fight.
Such is the greatness of the train journey.

The train ceases and the Train-master affirms the journey concludes at the moment.
My face dims down, I wish it would go on forever.
My most awaited end I've reached, but a great transition is encountered by my temperament.
Once, only for once again,
I want to travel in 'The train to the Paradise'.

Hello Esther, majesty -

is there a german translation for the poem? If not, I will try to make one.

[Queen Esther]

Hello  my  dear  Brother  @Peter Kutzer-Salm   Thank  you  very  much  for  the  nice  comment !  I'm  just  in  a  longer  Camping - holiday  in  the  Lüneburger Heide...  but  I  am  online  with  flatrates;  NO  problem.  I  write  you  tmw  bec.  this  translating.  Its  a  nice  idea  translate  it  into  German.  But  its  not  easy  I  think  bec. he  put  it  into  English  rhymes....  But  you  are  an  old  hand   very  good !   More  tmw  in  PN !   Best  wishes  from  Queenie Esther

Es wird sicher seine Zeit brauchen. Once upon the time I translate the poem "The Rose"  into german. 1 year I needed.

Liebe Grüße

[Peter Kutzer-Salm]

Dear Esther Queen, es ging/geht mir extrem heavy. Miserabler CT Befund. Mit Paradiese Train habe ich in ein Wespennest meiner Kreativität gestochen. Jetzt muß ich die entstandene  Novelle (Der Bahnhof) wieder zusammenkürzen, damit nur der Inhalt des ursprünglichen Gedichts übrigbleibt.

Liebe Grüße

Peter

PS: ich kann mit dieser neuen Aufmachung und deren Inhalte noch nicht wirklich etwas anfangen. Bin froh Dich gefunden zu haben.

[Queen Esther]

Lieber Peter, mir geht es ähnlich schlecht.... der Körper gibt unschöne Signale   Wenn man nichts unternimmt, wird es nicht besser. Ich hoffe, wir leben noch etwas...

Und ich hoffe sehr, es ist nichts Ernstes mit Dir?!!

Ich denke oft an Dich, mit einem schlechten Gewissen ;-(  Ein gutes Zeichen?  So oft wollte ich Dir schreiben....  fühle mich Deiner wertvollen, wirklich schönen Gedichte, einfach nicht gewachsen, so glaube ich.  Das hielt mich wohl vom Schreiben ab...

Aber die Zeit rennt so schnell dahin >>>>>>  erschreckend !

Spürte längst Deine Sehnsucht nach einer Antwort, wenigstens einige Zeilen....    Es sollen mehr Zeilen werden, besser per email u.privat.  Oder mal ein Tel.Gespräch?

Ich muß mir mehr Mühe geben, solange noch Zeit ist ! 

Für heute ganz liebe Grüße aus dem z.Zt. warmen Stade??? 

D. A.???

( freue mich aber auch auf Deine Zeilen !)  Danke
