Notes About The Poem

In dedication to our dear friend Beata Agustin for she had just lost her dad hours ago. Please join me in sending prayers and thoughts to her and her family. 

Heaven's Door

When I looked out through the stars last night 
I thought to myself...is that a light 
Shining through the atmosphere 
I had to look...I had to stare 
Glassy-eyed, I weep inside 
Feelings touched...I could not hide 
Emotions felt...a friends lost dad 
Feeling hurt, feeling sad 
He rose up from the Philippines 
On the path, of the sun's bright beams 
On his way...to heaven's gates 
Where angels fly...and god awaits 
To welcome him...his after life 
A life of love, never strife 
Where he'll open up...heaven's door 
And be with the lord...for evermore
 

Dedicated: To Beata Agustin and her family

A beautiful dedication for what I'm sure was quite a sad loss. I'm sure they'll all appreciate your sentiments.
