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
