Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

I'll Be Back, Sweetheart

i walked
my darling
to heaven’s gate
i had to leave him
at the door

i was told
in no uncertain terms
to scoot
head back
must wait my turn

so just like that
i kissed him
and left my darling
safe at heaven’s door

Sad one. We know that our loved ones are in a better place if they have made the reservation. Your presence at my page was delightful. Sara
