A Souls Journey

Standing in gods presence
Grace, mercy, faith and trust
Go with you…
And always… love
…A silent shudder…
 Who wants to leave heaven?
As the gate closes behind
On to the task at hand
Lost souls, longing for heaven
 Walk in utter despair, lonely and lost
Searching for unknown answers.
A question is posed, “do you want to
See god? ….”
Just in time… for the life ended
Souls rejoicing
Singing 
United in worship and praise 
To be home again 
Saying good-bye to the shell of a man.
The gate. smiling as it closes behind
For the journey has ended.
