Heaven's Gate

There is a place far from here yet not so far, but really near a place whose door is open wide a place where everyone is welcomed inside. Heaven's Gate is its name it's a place where all who enter are treated the same. It is the door to a place of rest for all who enter are treated with the best a place where calm and peace prevail where beauty and love are not for sale all are given free and clear a home for all with nothing but cheer. It was bought with the life of the man inside given to us as a sign of his love and marked on the door is a descending dove. It is a place where there is no envy or hate, and all who come are welcome to enter Heaven's Gate.
