At the Gates

Our song is something 
    we must be 
  ready to sing
before we enter into 
     a new life
At the gates 
    the decision will 
be made
We are only a small part 
   of the multiverse in the end
Our truths 
are a thing to cling to 
     when shadows grow long
   We'll learn what we 
must 
    Face the future with a 
grim determination 
   At the gates the 
decision will be made

As we pass through life, we have to remember that our actions will one day result in a judgment as we approach the gates of heaven, Matthew. I love this poem and am adding it to my favorites. It reminds me of one I wrote called "Peter at the Gate" that is no longer posted here. Blessings and love, Carolyn
