Heaven is an Attitude (Warren Stagg)

Here is a poem from Warren Stagg's first book: Heaven is an Attitude Vol.# 1

A Glimpse of Beauty

I love my self because I’m me;
The only one who can really see.

What I really need within my soul;
So I can accomplish my earthly goal.

When I examine the way I feel;
And accept in my heart its no big deal,

I’ve learned from others that life is hard;
And I need to be constantly on my guard.

I must protect myself from the pitfalls of life;
That brings me nothing but sorrow and strife.

And so I’ve watched the world pass by;
And watched the people moan and cry.

Then I thought this is absurd;
They haven’t listened to the spiritual word,

They‘re looking for the Darkness not the light;
It seems to be everywhere not just at night.
I said to myself while inside looking;
This world is a pot of Wisdom cooking,

Cooking up lessons in my daily life;
So I can learn to transform misery and strife.

Into something, an idea, not really new;

Spirit all is spirit, Spirit is all there is;
No matter whose form it takes;
Be it yours or his or hers.

All that I need to do to make it all work;
Is to take care of myself and stop being a jerk!


If we are created as part of it all;
Then its time to stop complaining and make living a ball.

Knowing now in my every cell;
That it all up to me to make my life Heaven or Hell.

The responsibility for my life, the way I perceive;
Is always controlled by what I believe,

I need to examine what others have said;
To see how much from them is stuffed in my head.

I’ll then have a choice to respond in a new way;
To life’s constant challenges that come everyday,

These changes I make will then lead me to see;
The beautiful things I’m doing for me.

I now begin each day with love in my heart;
Please believe me when I say, it’s a wonderful start.

Now Existence smiles and showers me with love;
As I learn to create a world here, like the one up above.

This isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning
