Heaven's Door

by Michael J Falotico

                                               Bridges built to a new tomorrow..
                                             Brushed back tears of faded sorrow..
                                       A glossy horizon with vibrant colors framed..
                                   Roads surrounded by walls of flowers not tamed..
                                   Leading to walkway where light shows the door..
                                         Inside a feeling of joy and love evermore..
                           I wake from a dream of Heaven or whatever God has in store..
