Linda Alice Fowler Poet Sonnet

I'm Coming

I look upon my life and sing
a song of living hope and love.
Within my heart there is a zing
for heaven’s calling from above.

The softest cushions on my chair,
a spark of stars to light my coal.
The lilt of lyrics in the air,
and finest lamb's wool for my stole. 

Within the confines of my dreams,
I view the most divine of things.
Friends and family in long streams; 
they welcome me with cheerful strings.

Today I am a joyous soul
for across that bridge I will stroll.
