Heaven's Doorway

As I leave this earthly realm I travel high above the stars An unseen celestial pilot at the helm A vision of a mist from afar In the clouds light years from earth, I come upon a set of stairs I ascend even higher than before And finally the Pearly Gates!...Heaven's Door The light I see is a pure, perfect light I genuflect in awe of this sight Then I wondered if my name is even in the Book I approach meekly and the angel takes a look The angel slowly flips the pages I start sweating as my mind engages All my sins flash before me too I'm hoping that mercy will see me through Finally the angel calls my name The joy I feel,... words cannot explain I enter through the gates and see my mother's brothers They hug me, I am overjoyed to also see my grandmother Joyful tears and hugs flow as I see many others A feeling of perfect peace comes over me It's as if I am a brand new person, sinless and free The I hear my sister call my name I run and kiss her, she was so glad I came Friends and family from way back when It was heavenly to be together again And we sang everlasting praises To God, whose grace eternally amazes

Joseph, have all those people actually gone before you already? that's sad. I still have my parents and sisters but time goes so fast, I am sure one of us will have his time to go soon. I am enjoying poems like yours. We are all saying about the same but in different ways and at this point in my life, luckily I didn't have too many close relatives waiting yet! Can't wait to see my stepbrother though, and my best dog Ollyver!

I am not sure if it happens exactly like this but I must say, it gave me shivers! Great flow and it came full circle to give God His worthy praise...(Do u think that a book so precious that God would allow an angel to hold it? Maybe he hides it under His robe so angels won't peek!) hahaha. ....just being a kiddo...I enjoyed this immensely, Joe. :) Gwendolen
