The Gates of Life and Death
Autumn leaves gently fall Before that final closure The air seems so final Lonely long whistling corridors Creaking doors, loud echoes And sharp memories Regretting things we said Or should not have said Wishing we have poured out More love instead Wishing we had done more And talked more But our precious loved ones They know, they know Knowledge in Heaven Increases with a Holy glow They know we love them For Love crosses all realms Rejoicing, they want us To go on and be happy We go forward with Life every day Going through our processes Then one day we will ascend To transcend the chains of pain And to know in spirit That our loved ones too Patiently in Heaven wait And when we reach Heaven Angels and our loved ones Will swing open Heaven’s Pearly glowing Gates For death is just a gateway That we must pass through And finally meet with God And all our loved ones too!
