Heaven’s Gate

 


I saw the rickety gate leaning over, 

it was as old as the hills.


I saw the cross standing behind it,

beaming proudly as if it just won a medal.


I saw the Christmas tree green grass,

and the ashy gray gravel.


I saw the cotton candy blue sky,

as it called me closer.


I saw the gate to heaven.

I saw the light shining on that gate.

I saw my time to go.

I saw the gate opening.

I see my new life starting.
