Something New

I almost always answer questions in my blog.  Sometimes I deviate and cover something else that I feel is important to know.  This is one of those times.

Cassie DiMento, mother of six and an NDE experiencer, really wants to focus on aftereffects.  Her episode occurred at the moment her heart stopped beating due to complications associated with childbirth.  Her life changed forever because of it.  She is planning on writing a story about all that God revealed to her, and about how she found strength from her husband and children.  Her journey to heaven and back from death she also conveyed in this poem.  Thank you Cassie for giving me permission to print it. ~PMH

TIMELESS

     by Cassie DiMeno   

I begged, I pleaded,       

I cried out.  So much fight!      

So determined, so hopeful,      

Closing my eyes to the light. 

But I pleaded, I begged,

I gave it my all.

Please let me go back?

I started to fall.

Not wanting to be tempted      

By what I might see               

I could hear His voice,       

He was talking to me!

From out of the darkness

and away from the light

A glorious meadow appeared.

I regained my sight.

Blind in the darkness       

Explosive visions appear      

My entire life revealed      

Year after year.        

The colors were vivid,

In the most amazing way,

Bales of hay formed a cross

On which my body did lay.

Times does not pass       

In heaven as on earth       

A lifetime of memories       

Played out since birth       

Warmed by peace,

Overwhelmed with love

The light engulfed me

in heaven above.

In what seemed like a second     

As quick as a flash       

Knowledge imparted             

In my mind with a crash.      

I returned to my body

Completely aware and awake,

Undeniably real,

The experience I take.

Suddenly,         

innately aware        

I entered the souls       

Of the 5 children I share.      

I know now what awaits me

At the true end of the day.

Heaven is filled with love

In the most glorious way.

No words could do justice      

The things that I saw       

The love in their hearts,      

The crosses they bore.       

But I begged, I pleaded,

I cried out.  So much fight

To go back to my family

And to hold each of you tight.

I had full understanding      

Of the present and past      

The effect on their future      

My absence and presence might cast.    

I thank God each day

for giving me my life,

For one more I love you

As your mother and wife.

I also saw clearly        

Through other’s eyes       

My actions and words,       

How I affected their lives.      

My faith in God

Gave me the glasses to see

The path He has mapped

Especially for me.

God did not judge       

He left that to me.       

Then He forgave my sins       

And set my soul free.       

My love for my family,

My family alone

Gave me the strength

And brought me home.

It was then that I felt

The most beautiful light.

It warmed me all over

Pure love shone bright!
