Heaven's Doorway

Heaven's doorway By any other name Is Jesus Christ, my Lord Straight is the way Narrow is His gate And definitely, there are no back doors Angels can't lift you up When overloaded Millstones hardened sin But, just give up Your will, as His life he did And when aligned you will be, invited in

Praise God for this testimony in poem. So very, very true. Many are the lost that need to be found.

This is very good. I like this kind of free verse. You asked me about the June sonnet. I was lying out in my back yard and observing all the things around me and then I carefully composed the sonnet around those things. It was the process I wanted to talk to you about. How I take things from life or imagined things and then take sometimes hours to mold them into sonnets or other forms. It's just my "way" but I appreciate that you probably are more spontaneous than that with your free verse.
