Heaven's Door

when i die 
burn my body
place my ashes
in a champagne bottle
as you drink 
remember
the taste of me once more

you'll have to live without me
but darling
you'll live proudly
i'll be watching 
intently
from heaven's door

and in life i couldn't save you
but in death i can help guide you
just know to send your wishes
into the clouds
every night

yes i'll take those wishes
find the Lord
pass the message
then keep ahold of your thoughts
in my heart
very tight

Meadow, welcome to Poetry Soup. I do believe in death we guide the ones we love, so they had best live proudly, for they are living loudly whether they realize it or not. Nice one!
