Heavens' Gate (Second Time Around)

This old street corner sure gets lonely and dark. It’s when the cold night winds blow and you get that sinking feeling, somewhere that you’ve missed your mark. You’ve no place to call home and you've lost faith and wonder if you still believe. And you have no one to miss you or even to grieve. What if I left this world today? There would be no one to miss me or see me on my way. I’d just be another John Doe for the county or state. Lord is this truly what I deserve is this my fate? Wow I just got a strange sensation from my head clear to my toes. I can feel goose bumps sticking up clear through my clothes. That was weird I’ve never in my life had a feeling like that. I felt like I was floating at least a foot above where I sat. Lord was that You, knocking on my door, awake up call? Wait a minute I am floating, level with the roof, that’s three stories tall. Well just how can this be? I’m up here and down there looks just like me. If I’m dead I don’t care I feel so happy, so free. I’m still ascending and I see brightness no it’s brilliance I see. That looks like an angel and he’s coming towards me. He said you must return back now, The Lord just wanted you to have a glimpse of what is to be. With that I returned in a flash. I went from being more than happy to a bum with no cash. Starting tomorrow I’m getting out of here. The Lord gave me a mission and He made it quite clear. My life now has purpose and I’m getting it straight. To help myself and others enter into His kingdom thru Heavens’ Gate.
