Through Heaven's Gates

Into the heavens is where we go after we pass away The golden shimmering light comes and encompasses us All our family that died before we did is there today To share the joys of heaven and the love we all possess Russell Sivey Entrant into Nathan D.'s "Best of the Best - poem " contest 4/4/2012

This is heavenly! I believe in each and every word you have written...I think when we all get to heaven, you should run as president of the poetry club!..Of course you'll have to run against David...you DO play a stringed instrument, right?...that'll improve your chances! A wonderful entry, Russell...Gwendolen
