Through Heaven’s Gate


Some are allowed to kneel at heaven’s gate praying for entry,

While others are turned away by an angel in form of a sentry,

Gifts from God are often given to those of undeserving soul,

For me entry to Heaven came in to the on the day wedding bells toll,

 

My heart once leapt past acquaintance time into love’s realm,

I fell in love only once but it came with enough force to overwhelm,

To love another at first sight was more an awakening than a fall,

I realized you were in my love dreams as far back as I could recall,

 

Some dreams were of a beautiful angel with flowing dark hair,

You were the angel of my dreams atop a long winding wood stair,

Wood finish was by angel’s touch to show grain in heaven’s light,

My rose bouquet of heavenly red matched your lips to our delight,

 

That ceremony five decades ago gave entry through heaven’s gate,

I believe each sensation of love that enters our being is how we relate,

A minute with you is no doubt a gift from Heaven that grows by day,

To see you play with children brings me joy each time along the way,

 

Walking through paradise with you has removed burdens of health,

Sensations given of your kiss bring me the riches of emotional wealth,

To be infused with love each day through physical or mental touch,

Is truly a gift from heaven if only because you love me so very much.

The end. To Patti from Pat.

I love you my little angel.
