How Far Is Heaven? - Children's Song

          I was looking for an idea for a children's song one day when I picked up the 2010 Ensign about Temples.  On the back was a quote from Pres. Thomas S. Monson that jumped off the page at me in this song form.  I thought that it needed another verse, so I flipped through the pages and there on page 10 was another quote from President Monson that became a perfect third verse.  Then in General Conference the next week, one of the brethren said something that perfectly fit for the 2nd verse.  I love these words in particular, "In their gleaming glory, temples seem to say, 'Come home to heaven, home to family, home to God.'"
          New - Solo version with elongated piano interlude  in two transpositions for high or low voice.
