Heaven's Doorway

This long journey has lasted a lifetime. And I’ve stopped many times on the way. Taken detours I’m not very proud of. Some that led me a little astray. Now my travels have all been concluded. I have finally reached the last door. Will my spirit be cleansed as I enter? Like the ocean waves clean up the shore. There’s a peacefulness floating around me. A strange mist that obscures a clear view. And a light up ahead shining toward to me. Like a signal that’s coaxing me through. There’s a warmth that surrounds me so sweetly. And it’s lifting me close to the light. I am not really sure how I know it. But I feel I will soon be all right. While I stand to be judged for my actions. I recall all the good and the bad. All the love that I gave and was given. Every sorrow that I ever had. Will I be reunited with loved ones? Are they waiting on the other side? Do they know that I’m coming to join them? For this final and ultimate ride.

You left it a question and that was fine!! I am sure for you they will be there!! I think for nearly everyone, the loved ones are waiting on that other side. Nicely described, samia.
