Heaven's Gate
You said that life is not as easy as ABC
That it might burst anytime like a balloon
You told me everything I should learn
But you never taught me how to let go.
You were the river where my life flows
You were the smile that lights my face
You were the voice who told me
]not to let go and just keep going
Now you are the soul; I’m crying for
As you strum your guitar
And sing your favorite hymn
I reminisced our days
And all the dreams we gathered
The leaves have withered
But your flowers boom eternally
For you lived your life happily
So I hope you rest peacefully
May the portals of heaven open up for you
Thought this would make me really blue
But then I know you are in a safer place
Where you would surely receive God’s grace
Let me give you one last kiss
It hurts to end up like this
But it’s not yet my time to go
For you were summoned all alone
But before you go
Promise me one last thing
When my invitation arrives
Please wait for me in . . .
Heaven’s Gate
